[00:01] hello_kitty: have you ensured the directory exists? [00:01] Vampire0: There's about 50MB in my trash bin. [00:01] Vampire0: But I am unable to empty it. [00:01] anyone else having trouble connecting to websites? [00:02] Wings: yep the dir (/var/www/someproject) is real, and the permissions are: - r w - r w - r - - [00:02] Is it possible to get Ubuntu to run the network independent of the user? :/ [00:02] purpzey: okay, here's what I'd do [00:02] Wings: I was just messing with permissions, and I just made myself root, those are my two most recent changes since the issue === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [00:02] sudo touch /forcefsck and then reboot [00:03] hello_kitty: chown it to root [00:03] hello_kitty: if it belongs to "nobody" it'll cause issues [00:03] purpzey: you could use baobab to see what is using up your diskspace https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Baobab [00:03] as in, not wait for me to login to connect to wifi [00:03] purpzey: that'll force a disk check on your next boot [00:04] Wings: everything is chowned to www-data:subversion, is that okay?

Is there a way to make it auth with an irc bot each time you connect to ircserver, ( particulary quakenet ) [00:05] purpzey: I looked into it, the -F flag will autocreate /forcefsck for you [00:06] purpzey: which will force an fsck (disk check) on boot (if forcefsck exists in root) [00:06] xvidcap I got it ty [00:06] http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/linux/3533595-tell-ubuntu-to-do-a-disk-check-at-boot-up.html [00:07] lookin 4 a johnathon itchner if u r here [00:11] well this is boring [00:12] Question: With Putty, we can copy text just by selecting the text and paste just by right-clicking.

Is there really middle click on mouse? [00:14] on real mice [00:14] I'm havin a really strange ssh/network/dns problem with my ubuntu server. It's currently set to static ip 192.168.2.100 on my home network and i ssh into it via this ip. However, recently it has been acting up and can start to get laggy and intermittent to the point where the connection actually falls through. [00:14] does anyone know how to use xrandr? [00:15] After the connection falling through, I did a "ping 192.168.2.100" on my laptop runnign windows which gave along the following lines: "Pinging 192.168.2.100... reply from 192.168.2.5 ... not responding" [00:15] It seems that somewhere along the lines the IP it is looking for is changing from .100 to .5 somewhere but I cant for the life of me find where.

[00:26] acovrig: hang on.. let me get the exact command [00:26] Slart, will xrandr do it? [00:27] acovrig: I don't know if xrandr can be used.. the command I'm looking for uses "xset" [00:27] I cant see the permissions of various files via ls -l. How can I fix this?

I am adding now. [00:33] hello_kitty: I'm thinking that it might not be "lying".. it might just not be allowed to tell you the permissions for some reason (not having read access to the parent directory, for example) [00:33] this karmic koala logout me without reason?

[00:42] ... if such a thing is possible... [00:42] hello_kitty, however, seeing as this is a directory, you need +x to be able to *traverse* it [00:42] hello_kitty: sounds odd... do you get question marks for the files in that directory?

[00:45] hey guys, I have an AA1 D250 with 9.10, but when I try to use the webcam with cheese it starts black, then the image reloads about every three seconds, and that's what it looks like in the video too. [00:45] any ideas? [00:45] remote console.. [00:46] daniel__, sounds like you'll need a Windows application for this, and #ubuntu is not the best place to ask about that :) [00:46] thune3, I will let you know if it works. [00:47] Cynthia, ok, what if I install ubuntu on all computers? how can I get control over the network. Lets say, enable/disable a computer, restart, block, etc??? [00:47] Okay, so now *I* can see the files, which is great, but my www-data doesnt seem to see them. [00:47] so i have an 8-channel sound card but it will only play through my central speakers any ideas on how to fix this? [00:47] daniel__: I wouldn't know about that. Maybe someone else in #ubuntu does, though. [00:47] Repeat from 11 minutes ago: Is keyserver.ubuntu.com down? [00:47] daniel__: italc might be useful.. if you want to keep an eye on what people are doing... http://italc.sourceforge.net/ === log|out is now known as log|in [00:48] Never mind me, it just took 75 seconds to import the keys, and gpg timed out before this retry.

Will look at it. =) [00:49] u+x,g+x [00:49] I have an 8-channel integrated sound but ubuntu is only using 1 channel is there any way to fix this? [00:49] Cynthia: how can i safely do that recusively for /var/www ? I'm scared to use *, i bricked one box that way already ;) [00:49] hello_kitty, I don't know if the -R option affects both files and directories. Your files may end up executable after this. [00:50] hi all [00:50] I have a question about setting /home to a new partition [00:50] hello_kitty: One safe way to do it is 'find /var/www -type d -exec chmod u+x,g+x "{}" ";"' [00:50] I follow the steps like in here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:50] hello_kitty: (+) Include the " quotes, but not the outer ' ones, from my message in your command [00:50] but when It starts the X crash about can not open /home when using "/."

[00:51] xpike: define "flawlessly" [00:51] my paste: http://pastebin.com/GU0ggu85 [00:51] any ideas? [00:52] Joelito, The /dev/sda2 line in your pasted fstab file is commented out. Remove the #. [00:52] IS there a way to get Ubuntu back after a crash or should I just kill it and scrap it? [00:52] I would like an answer please. [00:53] Joelito, Make sure you've moved all of the files from the older root (/)'s /home into your new /home partition first [00:53] In terms of video card drivers, wifi drivers, and such [00:53] hey guys, I have an AA1 D250 with 9.10, but when I try to use the webcam with cheese it starts black, then the image reloads about every three seconds, and that's what it looks like in the video too. [00:53] any ideas? [00:53] Usually many people come in ubuntu rooms and forums because they are trying to get * driver to work [00:53] lawrence: Does it give you a terminal at all? [00:53] I keep getting different errors depending how I try to boot. Best boot is recovery on original install. [00:53] Yes it does [00:53] Cynthia: awesome, thanks [00:54] lawrence: If power management is not installed correctly, but you can access the network (see 'ping www.google.com'), you could try to reinstall the acpid package and its dependencies with 'aptitude' [00:54] anybody have an ipad working with rhythmbox? [00:54] How do I do that? [00:54] lawrence: as in, deinstall + install, or if aptitude has a reinstall option like Synaptic, use it [00:55] hmm, my top menubar and bottom bar have gone away; I still have some termianl sessions up, what is the command to bring those menu bars back? [00:55] Cynthia, hi I commented because I needed to return back to normal state [00:55] (Sorry for my bad english) I have two hard disk drives, in the first one I have Ubuntu installed and that drive is full, and I want to install new packages, dependencies, configuration files, and all related to new software in the other drive, What are the steps to follow? [00:55] hey guys, I have an AA1 D250 with 9.10, but when I try to use the webcam with cheese it starts black, then the image reloads about every three seconds, and that's what it looks like in the video too. [00:55] lawrence: type sudo aptitude at the prompt, and use the Search/Restrict menu option to restrict the display to the 'acpid' package, then press Ctrl+T to access the menu and look at options [00:55] any ideas? [00:55] Cynthia, and I did move, well copy all the files [00:55] how good is the intel atom processor for mini laptops [00:56] Okay I will try that. Thank you., [00:56] xpike: decent [00:56] which model is the most powerful to run compiz fusion smoothly [00:56] its showing up in ideviceinfo but rhythbox gives me the initialize ipod saying its uninitialized or corrupted [00:56] Joelito: you probably forgot some of the files in your /home directory, namely the hidden ones (.filename). What command/program/method did you use to recopy your files to the old root's /home^ [00:56] Everytime I loose power Linux goes bad. [00:56] ? rather, not ^ [00:57] lawrence: Sounds like a reinstall after backing up /home would do your computer a lot of good [00:57] (also /etc) [00:57] Ubuntu was fine until I had lost power and now I can't get into it. [00:58] lawrence: it might also be worth doing a 'fsck /' to check the filesystem integrity [00:58] Cynthia, I used # sudo cp -r * /media/new_partition [00:58] Hey guys. Is it possible to write a bash script that has a sudo command and include the password inside the bash script? I know its a bad idea, I have my reasons tho! [00:59] Joelito, that command omits .files from the current directory, but preserves .files from subdirectories. If you still have access to your old /home partition, issue this additional command: cp .* /media/new_partition [00:59] Cynthia, yeah, just confirmed it didn't copy the hidden files [00:59] Gwar, nope, and not supported [00:59] Joelito: wait, no, cp -r .* /media/new_partition [01:00] I want to disable UDMA because I have installed Ubuntu Server on Compact Flash card. How can I do that? [01:00] I am using Lucid [01:00] Cynthia, ok, is there a single line which will copy both hidden and normal files [01:00] does ubuntu have a system where I can make custom packages, similar to slackware and archlinux (makepkg) ? [01:01] Joelito: cp -ar . /media/new_partition [01:01] how can I add paremeters to kernel? [01:01] so how do I edit grub 2? [01:02] Joelito: (+) The dot on its own refers to the current directory, and 'cp' correctly grabs the list of all files without exception if you use the dot [01:02] coolkehon: see if http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/ covers your needs [01:02] hmm, my top menubar and bottom bar have gone away; I still have some termianl sessions up, what is the command to bring those menu bars back? [01:02] Joelito: rsync -aP OLD/ NEW/ && sync [01:02] would work too :) [01:03] Is it possible for a Live CD/DVD to read a Wubi installed Ubuntu?

[02:22] Joit, she has a completely different issue. [02:22] I am no expert in anything linux [02:22] ljruff, anyways to boot it without the hardware in a X setting? so i can install the drivers manually. [02:22] ljruff, it is a brand new install [02:22] i am not sure about that, because as more i look at the net, as more i find other reasons for it [02:22] You're running corrupted install media - she's running a bad install or running with missing drivers. [02:22] xangua, and even music syncing isn't possible out of the box, right? I see no option in Rhythmbox to sync with my iPod (though it recognizes the device and plays the files just fine). [02:22] Vigo: what do you mean by chown [02:22] ? [02:23] LJRuff actaully not a corrupted, i said one from the cd's [02:23] Nicole, you'll need a senior here for that. I do not know how to start a shell without a gui. = / [02:23] Zalithian, recently downloaded zlib from zlib.net, but thats it [02:23] the Cd, wich work grapihiclly have bad files on it [02:23] What's the best whole-disk encryption solution for Linux? [02:23] doormat81: i believe you need to activate the ipod plugin in rhythmbox [02:23] Joit, what's your native language? [02:23] german [02:23] Sorry I can't really help you Doyle.

[02:24] ljruff, i had ubuntu installed on my asus before this and it did the same thing. i belive there was a hotkey or combination that forced the screen to load? [02:24] phuzion: encrypted LVM setup durint the installation [02:24] anyone know if someone makes a dual dual core motherboard ? [02:24] they are all asleep i guess [02:24] Nicole, ctrl-alt-t is the only one I know. [02:24] Joit: Here are Boot Options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [02:24] Nicole: maybe you used a bad ISO [02:24] can anyone even see what I am typing or am I muted?

[02:25] woodyjlw i can [02:25] Nicole: is this before or after installing a propritary graphics card driver? [02:25] OK. Since no one has any ideas for the login screen issue, does anyone know how to, or have a website that could help me connect to the internet from the terminal so I can do an apt-get install updates adn see if that helps? [02:25] ok thanks [02:25] Doyle2: what log in screen issue? [02:25] sebsebseb, this is a fresh install, I have not yet seen the login screen [02:25] Nicole: 10.04? [02:26] sebsebseb, yes [02:26] sebsebseb, The user list and option bar do not display. Background is visable. [02:26] Nicole: and the ISO was fine? and the burn to CD of the contents was slow? [02:26] bw21: In all sessions? [02:26] zagabar: you can try to uninstall the packages that are missing, then reinstall them after the upgrade, but do so very carefully [02:26] Doyle2: oh right well GDM 2 sucks anyway, there are other screens :) === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm [02:26] do I need to register my nick? how do I register a nick [02:26] !register | woodyjlw [02:26] woodyjlw: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

If I have to dl them I'll still have to get on the internet from terminal [02:27] I have booted into the live CD, but gparted ownt start, and i cant get past the keyboard section of the install. i have already downloaded and burnt a new image, but it still does it. what do? [02:27] Nicole: oh [02:27] Nicole: ok [02:27] Nicole: if the Live CD doesn't work properly, well then the install probably won't either [02:27] Nicole: have you had a previous version of Ubuntu before? [02:27] Nicole: what kind of hardware you got? graphics card and such? [02:27] adamh_: have you tried the alternate installer === internut is now known as lamcom [02:28] yoyoned: i have used this on the same pc before [02:28] sebsebseb, on my asus, I am currently working it onto my mac pro. but last time it did this on the asus I had to use a hotkey and boot from some "x" graphical display? [02:28] bw21: Is Hardy, but is Debian/Linux: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/start-stop-daemon.8.html [02:28] yoyoned, i deleted all partitions froma hard disk, unplugged the rest from my motherboard, and started the install [02:28] I'm trying to use Ubuntu on an older computer with Nvidia graphics. The live-cd boots fine, but when installed I get a blank screen. If I disable nouveau, I get a command line. Does anybody know how to enable the nv driver? [02:29] Nicole: on the asus it works ok? === macode is now known as macode|afk [02:29] Nicole: try typing startx if you can see a commandline [02:29] Nicole: your Macbook Pro is Intel yeah? its got a Intel proccessr in it yeah? [02:29] or xinit [02:29] sebsebseb, 8 cores xeon intel [02:29] adamh_ i cant see anything [02:29] Nicole: maybe a previous version or another distro will work better for you [02:30] Nicole: give gentoo a try [02:30] adamh_: uhmm [02:30] adamh_: don't recommend that [02:30] Vigo: when I compared 'strace glxinfo' in user and in superuser mode, there was a 'permission denied' on '/dev/ati/card0' though I am in the video group... [02:30] adamh_ I highly prefer ubuntu [02:30] adamh_: except to people, who know Desktop Linux well of course [02:30] Vigo: what is start-stop-daemon for this problem? [02:30] Nicole: well there are other distros out there that are about as user friendly or more user friendly even for at least one [02:31] Nicole: or two [02:31] Nicole: go use 9.10 then or whatever works? [02:31] Nicole: maybe simpally 10.04 isn't good for your hardware [02:31] /cs op [02:31] yoyoned: Yay, it worked thanks. The package was libculu0. [02:31] bw21: Is a Gnome thing or Hardware? [02:31] sebsebseb, last time this happened i simply went into an "X graphical display" and it viewed my login and let me get onto the desktop to install my graphics drivers. (on the asus 2 years ago) I forgot how to do this now [02:32] Nicole: well theres recovery mode now [02:32] Nicole: you can go into that from Grub [02:32] Vigo: probably a hardware/driver thing, but it works just fine with 'sudo' (fps 7000) [02:32] Nicole: try F1 this will give you a test login, login there and then setup your x [02:32] Nicole: you can run commands, and if you have installed the driver and issues, you can fix xorg like this even and such [02:33] pnunn, at the login screen i can enter that? === adam_ is now known as _adam_ [02:33] sorry... text login.. not test. === _adam_ is now known as adamx_ [02:33] Vigo it works so far ! [02:33] sebsebseb, other user friendly options are? suse and what else? [02:33] Nicole: anyway I want to be watching a film soon, and not sitting here, so good luck :) [02:33] Nicole: Mandriva [02:33] Nicole: You can do it any time. It will give you anoter login page, just login as normal, but its text only. [02:34] now i can see the 'try-out screen [02:34] How do you remove the password prompt when coming back from suspend? [02:34] pnunn, that may work. I will try it. [02:34] question: I'm trying to use Ubuntu on an older computer with Nvidia graphics. The live-cd boots fine, but when installed I get a blank screen. If I disable nouveau, I get a command line. Does anybody know how to enable the nv driver? [02:34] Nicole: well theres Mint, which I don't like much, and you can't get support for it here, its based on Ubuntu, so yeah I don't normally recommend Mint [02:34] sebsebseb, theres another one... [02:34] Joit: Sweet, please post any fixes to the Forums, Thank you. [02:34] joey_, when you get that command line does it say initramfs.. [02:35] Vigo you gave me the link its your fault :P and i dont have an account there [02:35] Nicole: if your thinking Fedora well maybe for you, thats more for intermediate users really, just like PC Linux OS would be really I guess. http://www.distrowatch.com [02:35] joey_, [02:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [02:35] Joit: Join US! We make playing with PCs fun again. [02:35] anybody knows how to install Sopcast in ubuntu 10.04? [02:35] sebsebseb, thank you.

[02:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:37] I think I found the answer in gconf-editor [02:37] I am trying to get XCompose settings to work on Lucid. Worked on earlier versions. Any pointers? [02:37] coz: when I try gdm or xinit, it gives me some sort of error about a dbus socket, I'll be right back with the full exact error... [02:38] bw21: For hardware: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/hdparm.8.html , but read the warnings and always make a backup before hacking the kernel like that. [02:38] Joit: You will have fun and be free to learn,play or learn to play. or something. [02:38] hi all, question, how do you get dolphin to work as root? [02:39] I have installed uim-xim, but that did not get XCompose going [02:39] Is this the right place to ask for help on fixing an Ubuntu install? [02:39] any good software to watch free p2p tv in ubuntu 10.04? [02:39] starwatcher, sudo dolphin [02:39] !p2p | yudun1989 [02:39] yudun1989: Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information === aether is now known as Guest28118 [02:40] Vigo: ? [02:40] starwatcher: in gnome you use kgsu, in kde i don't remember [02:40] I used fsck -yv to 'fix' a ext4 partition that had 10.04 on it. Now when I boot, many key files seem to be missing, like my python binaries (/usr/lib/python points to python2.6 which is missing) [02:40] !gksu [02:40] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:40] starwatcher, or in terminal sudo passwd root choose a root password then type su then root password and just type dolphin but sudo dolphin should suffice [02:40] yudun1989: That is what our bot says , [02:40] I can't run apt-get because of the missing python files [02:41] coz_: not a good idea use sudo with a graphic app [02:41] Vigo: ok thanx [02:41] diwant, ouch [02:41] yudun1989: Just click the links that ubottu stated. [02:41] coz_ that complains with errors about "owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0" that brings up dolphin but i can't modify files in root. [02:41] kdesudo with kde starwatcher [02:41] xangua, old haibts die hard :) [02:41] Vigo: yep.the bot is cool [02:41] 有没有说中文的 人?

[02:43] Can anybody answer the following question? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515069&highlight=postgreSQL [02:43] bw21: I think I saw that once on the Forums, been a while, let me look again.... [02:43] blendmaster1024: install ntp [02:44] IdleOne, that it? [02:44] it magic? [02:44] diwant: sudo dpkg --configure -a [02:44] For those interested, setting desktop->gnome->lockdown->disable_lock_screen to true fixes the problem. [02:44] blendmaster1024: yeah I think so [02:44] IdleOne, i thought it shipped with it [02:44] prodigalson: 怎么了 [02:44] That's in gconf-editor, by the way [02:44] blendmaster1024: its set up by default [02:44] adamx_: Thank you. [02:44] janice, no it's not [02:44] hola [02:44] janice, i can say that much for sure [02:44] blendmaster1024: apt-cache policy ntp if it is installed then it is default [02:45] installed none [02:45] coz: when I do "sudo gdm" it says "warning: could not connect to system bus: failed to connect to socket "/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket [02:45] blendmaster1024: install it [02:45] :) [02:45] anyone know how to get xim as default input methon in Lucid? [02:45] * blendmaster1024 does [02:45] xanqua that worked thanks [02:45] Vigo, np [02:45] Geoff918, sudo -u postgres psql execs "psql" as the user "postgres" [02:46] blendmaster1024: your system will use Ubuntu's NTP server at ntp.ubuntu.com by default [02:46] ok i'll wanna change that to the US govm't NTP server [02:46] Nitsuga: Yes, that's true. And, Postgres does not have read/write privileges on /home/*user* but what do I do about it? [02:46] anyone know what it is? === chaz_ is now known as Guest76519 [02:47] coz: and when I do "sudo xinit" it takes me to a terminal in x, but no window manager or DE [02:47] Geoff918, you are not using the root account, but a "postgres" one, to exec psql. Try adding the -i flag, si it will run in postgres home folder [02:48] *so [02:48] anyone know anything about setting up xim as the default input method? === shade_ is now known as \shade\ [02:49] Nitsuga: Okay, so basically sudo -u postgres psql -i dbname and that will run under .postgres or I'm not aware of a /home/postgres user...I'll give it a go [02:49] joey_, and restart gdm didnt work... did you check the cd for errors before installing? and tell me how old of a system is this? how much system memory what type number of nvidia card [02:49] it [02:50] joey_, for the nvidia card you can type in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [02:50] coz: it's an old g4 ppc, 768 ram, geforce 2 I think. but the livecd boots fine and runs gnome just fine if I do nouveau.blacklist=true at the command line [02:50] Dawww, ubuntu alternative can't figure out my net. :S [02:50] Geoff918, use sudo -ui postgres psql and it will run in whatever postgres home folder is (I beleive that it is located in /var, you can check with sudo grep postgres /etc/passwd ) [02:50] coz: like I said, I think that enabling nv would do it, I just don't know how to. 9.04 and 9.10 worked fine... [02:50] blendmaster1024: wel you could alwats use this one time-a.nist.gov [02:51] joey_, ah ok...mmm no nv in lucid I am afraid just nouveau [02:51] janice, ok. how do i set it? [02:51] joey_, unfortunately actually [02:51] Geoff918, mm it is bad, sudo sudo -i -u postgres psql , in that order [02:51] joey_, I would try a couple things... first inset the live cd and choose the check disk for errors [02:51] Nitsuga: That last one did the trick! :) [02:52] I'll post that to the forums and mark [SOLVED] [02:52] Geoff918, great :) [02:52] joey_, if that presents no issues I would download and try the alternate cd or the minimal cd install [02:52] Nitsuga: Thanks so much. That was so frustrating! I'm not bad with these things, but you just blew me out of the water. [02:52] blendmaster1024: heres where I work from http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch24_:_The_NTP_Server [02:53] Would someone please take a look at the Desktop context section of my rc.xml for Openbox? http://pastebin.com/ZBsXxtYn I can't get the mouse binding to work with the VolumeNotify.sh script at the bottom. :( [02:53] coz_: lspci gave Nvidia NV11 Gefore2 MX400, I think [02:53] joey_, mmm that is a pretty old card [02:53] coz: I'll try the error check [02:53] Geoff918, no problem, have a nice day :) [02:53] bkadoctaj: Does it work if you toss it in quotes? [02:53] Hmm, haven't tried that, hoverbear1. [02:53] bkadoctaj: "/home/jason/.scripts/VolumeNotify.sh up" [02:53] joey_, if that error check shows nothing try the minimal install cd to see if that works or the alternate cd [02:54] hoverbear1: nope. :( [02:54] bkadoctaj: is the script +x? [02:55] hoverbear1: I have checked it out in the terminal, and yep, it's executable and fully functional. [02:55] coz: k thx... [02:55] bkadoctaj: Interesting. [02:55] having issues with flash on a inspriron 1526, is there any known problems with flash on 10.4 [02:55] lol Yeah, I was thinking it was just me... [02:56] hoverbear1: I've also tried it with C and A instead of W. No luck. [02:56] im trying to install this package called florence i downloaded it from sourceforge to my downloads folder but when i enter the command tar -xjvf florence-0.4.7.tar.bz2 it says tar: florence-0.4.7.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory [02:56] noob, let me try to find that package [02:56] bkadoctaj: Does it work if you substitute the command for like, firefox or whatever? [02:57] thanks coz [02:57] bkadoctaj: I' [02:57] noob: is that a 32pkg on a 64bit machine? [02:57] bkadoctaj: I'm curious if it's the command, or the keybind. [02:57] oh i dnt think so im pretty sure i installed 32 bit [02:57] hoverbear1: aha, no that mousebind doesn't work either. [02:57] how do i check again if im 64 or 32? [02:58] bkadoctaj: Then it's the mousebind not the exec :) [02:58] noob, when you downloaded this... where did you download it to? [02:58] noob: so u dont know? [02:58] noob, you have to change to you DOwnloads folder, use: cd Downloads [02:58] so does anyone know of flash player issues in the 10.4 [02:58] noob, look in the home directory under "Downloads" [02:58] hoverbear1: well, how is my syntax any different from the default command to move to the previous desktop? [02:58] i guess my anme implies that i dont kno +P but im pretty sure its 32 bit is there any way i can check? [02:59] noob, you can cut and paste that directly in the home folder or on the Desktop if youa re more comfortable with that [02:59] yes theres where it is coz all i have to do is copy it to the home folder? [02:59] bkadoctaj: I have no idea. :S I don't use openbox. [02:59] hoverbear1: ah, okay. :) Well, thanks for helping. I guess there's something about the Execute action... [02:59] noob, yes if you are confortable compiling from the home directory [03:00] bkadoctaj: It's entirely plausible. [03:00] noob, it is going to requjire libglade-2.0 it may be on lucid it is not on karmic however [03:00] ywat are some reasons to be uncomfortable about compiling from the home ir? [03:00] noob, you can copy it to your home or use cd Downloads and it will work. You can check if you ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit with uname -m x86 = 32bit x86_64 = 64bit [03:01] i have 10.04 === macode|afk is now known as macode [03:01] I'm curious why ubuntu compiles with 386 instead of 686 [03:01] noob, sorry it is on karmic as well but you will need to install libglade2-dev pacakge ro compile this [03:01] it says i686 i guess i have 32 bit [03:02] hoverbear1, I don't really know, but it will be over on Maverick, which will be i686 only.

[03:06] noob, nice virtual keyboard :) [03:06] lol coz i dnt follow [03:07] noob, I assume florence is a virtual keyboard application?? [03:07] yes [03:07] it has failed me [03:07] or rather i have failed at installing it [03:07] noob, what is the terminal readou after doing ./configure ? [03:07] should i type that in and i can tell u? [03:08] noob, well hold on/// go to system /administration/synaptic pacakge manager [03:08] k [03:08] noob, then hit the search button and type in libatspi-dev [03:09] what i tried to compile without getting those dev packages and this is what it told me configure: error: Your intltool is too old.

I think you are looking for ntpd [03:24] Is there a limit to how many times you can try the sudo password? [03:24] is there anyway you can restart your Synaptics touchpad mouse on ubuntu 10.04 it got stuck and won't move [03:24] sasquatch7 : Yes there is. [03:24] I'm trying to play some games on GGZ. It looks like the main server has been taken offline, possibly for good. Anyone know of another server that has some people on it? Or some replacement for GGZ? [03:24] Uruoki: Do you know what the limit is? [03:24] man [03:25] fearful: try logging out [03:25] why wont the matrix dvd play in ubuntu [03:25] yoyoned, If i changed the background from this file: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml , how can I update the background? Do i need to restart gnome? [03:25] chilli0: don't know [03:25] chilli0: Try source filename [03:25] Sasquatch7 : Not sure, but if I remember there is one. It may of been removed in 10.04 though. [03:26] Uruoki: Ok thanks. [03:26] fearful: you probably have to restart x [03:26] Sasquatch7, I have changed the file name. But it doesn't change the background.

Anyone know a solution? [03:26] WebDawg, dude, I think I saw someone else had this problem. IIRC they had to empty a folder or something. [03:26] yoyoned, that usually works, I was just wondering if there was an alternative where I don't have to restart x? [03:26] chilli0: try going to terminal in the dir of that file and type 'source filename' [03:27] Sasquatch7, .... I have changed the file name and done that..... But It doesn't update the background [03:27] WebDawg, maybe this link will help your search for a solution [03:27] devdz:use irssi dude [03:27] WebDawg, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-playback-dvd/ [03:27] chilli0: Not sure then.

It sucks having no internet. [03:27] How do I get Ubuntu to automatically connect to any open access point it finds? [03:28] luke-jr, ubuntu connect to an open access point for me automatically.

However the cable works, because I had it working on my xbox. [03:31] Sasquatch7, exit [03:31] do you have some server that assigns ip address? [03:31] seidos: automatically meaning without manually connecting to it even once [03:31] It is a home computer. [03:31] So no. [03:32] what is? [03:32] It is Ubuntu on a laptop [03:32] yoyoned, na Synaptics is just the brand of the Touchpad is there away to restart it [03:32] so, do you have a dsl router? [03:32] Yea. [03:32] or cable router? [03:32] DSL. [03:32] it usually has a dhcp server which lends out ip addresses [03:32] can you open a terminal on your desktop? [03:32] HermanDE_: Doesn't seem to kick me. I can still access a file without using a password. [03:33] Yea, give me a second to walk to the computer. [03:33] OK it is open. [03:33] type "ifconfig" and you will see all the ip addresses assigned to interfaces [03:34] It is the local host. [03:34] that is all you see? [03:34] Yep. [03:34] Hello, I'm on an iMac. Ubuntu did not offer to install the closed-source accelerated driver, how may I install it? [03:34] Graphics driver, I mean. [03:34] Well not all, but there is some stuff about packets and stuff. [03:34] Hey guys. I keep having this weird problem where I'm unable to use any mouse clicks on my laptop randomly. I've tried both with the built in mouse buttons and an external mouse. Any ideas? [03:34] rats. I know how to do this from a command line, but not using the gui things [03:35] I have time, I can try it. Haha. [03:35] Sasquatch7, The default timeout is 15 minutes.... [03:35] kurtis: I forget exactly, but are you typing when this happens? There's a feature which disables the mouse while typing. [03:35] try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [03:35] kurtis: Was pretty goddamned annoying, but sounds like you might have it turned on. (it's on by default) [03:35] Sasquatch7, During the fifteen minute window if you sudo something again, the timer will reset.... [03:35] R0b0t1: Sometimes it appears to work that way but I have it turned off in the menu [03:35] HermanDE_: Ok thanks, is it possible to time it out sooner with a command? [03:36] R0b0t1: Like right now I can use the mouse and type. Web Browsers seem to trigger it a lot [03:36] EDinNY command not found. [03:36] kurtis: Hmmm... Keep asking then, I don't keep up with a lot of the bugs ;) [03:36] Uruoki, 'networking' [03:36] which command? [03:36] R0b0t1: lol that's cool. thanks for the suggestion though :) [03:36] Sasquatch7, do a sudo -k [03:37] Has anyone else experienced the random inability to perform mouse clicks before? The cursor moves just fine. It doesn't seem to make a difference between built-in trackpad or external mouse [03:37] EDinNY "Sudo: /etc/init.d/network: not found" [03:37] HermanDE_: Thanks just what I was looking for! [03:37] Uruoki, EDinNY /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:37] no colon after sudo and it is not caps [03:38] EdinNy, there wasn't a colon, that was the output message of the command not being found. [03:38] ls /etc/init.d/network <-you should see the file [03:38] Uruoki, EDinNY mean to say 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [03:39] yes [03:39] Uruoki, SYSV init is depreciated in Ubuntu [03:39] yoyoned, ok I tried restarting nothing happened still stuck. Then I restarted system and I can use mouse until it loads my Desktop when its loaded I can't use it anymore [03:39] No such file. [03:39] Hi [03:39] Uruoki, linux is case-sensitive. It is sudo, not Sudo [03:39] I am using 9. they changed it in 10? [03:39] I'm not typing it with caplize. [03:39] right. no caps [03:40] Everything is lower case. [03:40] EDinNY, it's still there (at least on a 9.10 -> 10.04 u/g) [03:40] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on to my laptop. I pressed "install Ubuntu on my hard drive". White text shows up and my computer screen just disappears. I'm guessing my .iso is faulty - is there something like sha1sum so I can check the iso's integrity? [03:40] "ls /etc/init.d/network" Correct? [03:40] Uruoki, for the 20th time, /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:41] networkING [03:41] ING [03:41] right. networking [03:41] Ok it is reconfiguring. [03:41] Sorry, it has been a long day. [03:41] It's always nice to see people on here who aren't arrogant dbags. [03:42] Reconfiguring network interfaces [OK] [03:43] Raj, there's a check CD option when you boot from the install CD iirc [03:43] EDinNY, I did the networking restart. [03:43] and>? [03:43] and? === marcio is now known as Guest84769 [03:44] Reconfiguring network interfaces [OK] [03:44] Thanks codebrainz [03:44] That is it. [03:44] but I'm booting from a usb, there's no option [03:44] urucki, odd. should happen automatically when you boot linux [03:45] hello there [03:45] EDinNY : I am thinking it is my modem, because I have wireless working on my Vista Laptop, wireless on PSP, and Ethernet working on my Xbox 360. [03:45] Does anybody know where are the "Keyboard Shortcuts" settings saved? I'd like to backup them [03:46] EDinNY : However I tried 3 different ethernet ports, and cords. Can't seem to get ethernet working on any computer. [03:46] how can I use the mv command in bash to move all files who's filenames are less than 7 chars? [03:47] my ubuntu is rubbing really slow and freezes up frequently how can i make it go faster [03:47] noob: switch to Kubuntu and turn off desktop effects [03:47] rubbing* [03:47] running* [03:47] seidos: mv ? ; mv ?? ; mv ??? and so on [03:48] how do i switch to kubuntu and how do i turn off deskop effects [03:48] thune3, I'll try [03:48] aptitude install kubuntu-desktop ; aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop ; reboot [03:48] then go into System Settings under Desktop [03:48] will that change my entire gui? [03:48] yes [03:48] nah, don't move to kubuntu [03:48] in theory you can leave both installed to try it [03:49] just turn off the desktop effects in Ubuntu [03:49] luke-jr: removing ubuntu-desktop will not get rid gnome [03:49] bastid_raZor: I know, a shame [03:49] also try to reinstall it [03:49] luke-jr: no, you're suggesting the incorrect command [03:49] noob, and it won't necessarily be faster (likely slower) [03:49] oo [03:49] how do i turn off desktop effects in ubuntu [03:49] thune3, thank you, worked great [03:49] seidos: np [03:50] noob: System > Preference > Appearance > Visual > None [03:50] noob: I always turn the effects off, and Ubuntu goes super fast === OerHeks is now known as Oer [03:51] how do you put a break or a pause when doing an ls command? === no-name is now known as Guest57331 [03:51] ls /dir | more [03:51] seidos: ls | less [03:52] bastid_raZor, thank you [03:52] seidos: glad to help.

[03:57] Uruoki, have you played around in the network manager using the icon in the panel? [03:57] Yea, eth0 doesn't even show up. [03:57] amd 3200+ [03:57] and [03:57] i think 512 mb ram mayb 1gb? [03:57] Uruoki, does it show up if you do 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' ? [03:58] noob, try typing top in a shell [03:58] does ubuntu server 10.04 install X as a default? [03:58] what do u mean seidos? [03:58] type top in the terminal? [03:58] noob, maybe identify how much free memory you have and what is using cpu cycles [03:58] noob, yes shell/terminal I think it means the same thing [03:58] codebrainz : auto lo iface lo inet loopback. [03:58] noob, shell is easier to type than terminal :) [03:58] Raj, so you are booting from the USB stick? which method did you use to make the boot usb stick? [03:59] oo lol [03:59] * seidos is trying to be lazy like a fox [03:59] well i got 175 processes sleeping [03:59] i dont want them to sleep i want them to die [03:59] and 1 running [03:59] noob: When in "top" hit k and then type the pid. [03:59] Uruoki, you could try '/etc/init.d/network-manager restart' .. not sure if it'll fix it [03:59] it says not valid rob [04:00] Yes. I mounted the iso with Universal USB Installer [04:00] does Ubuntu 10.04 Server install X automatically? [04:00] onto my flash drive, codebrainz [04:00] !tab | noob [04:00] noob: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[04:00] Taev: [04:00] oh hey [04:00] Taev: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for gnome [04:00] its working now [04:00] noob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] codebrainz, there is some more text too, but that is what it is mainly saying. [04:00] Raj, how did you go about putting the ISO on there? did you just copy the ISO over to the flash drive? [04:01] Hello. I try to install the "Broadcom STA wireless driver", but it errors out and tells me to look at the log file, which is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/228291/ [04:01] Uruoki, and it still doesn't work? [04:01] sry floodbot im such a noob i shud kno better [04:01] noob, in top, look at the column for %cpu [04:01] codebrainz, Nope. [04:01] i need help trying to get my video card to work with my TV [04:01] ah crap, all this to get RAID 0 [04:01] seidos, it says 34.4% [04:01] Wish my wireless card was supported. [04:02] hmmm that isn't too bad [04:02] mem total 508260k mem used 502504k [04:02] codebrainz, I used the Universal USB Installer to mount it onto the flash drive. After I was done, there were about 7 folders on there with various files. [04:02] so thats it? apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for gnome ? [04:02] Again, the Ubuntu splash screen with the different options comes up, but after I press anything (boot from usb, install onto hard drive, etc), it just turns black after a few lines of code. [04:03] Raj, when it goes black, is the light on the flash drive blinking? it boots SUPER slow [04:03] Hello. I try to install the "Broadcom STA wireless driver", but it errors out and tells me to look at the log file, which is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/228291/ [04:03] this community is great i love you guys [04:03] noob, hmmm, sounds like you could use some extra memory. now look at %mem. [04:03] seidos, i dont see that [04:03] Raj, for example it takes around 10 minutes for the livecd to boot on my computer. [04:04] Codebrainz, yes, it is blinking. But by super slow do you mean >30 minutes? It's a new laptop (i5) and the flash drive is good too. [04:04] codebrainz the usb will be faster at boot [04:04] Raj, i seriously doubt 30 min. What's the "code" that shows on the screen? [04:04] codebrainz, what are your specs so that you boot that slow? [04:05] Gryllida, core2 duo, 4gb, sata [04:05] codebrainz: phew, that's weird [04:06] codebrainz: system, addministration, log viewer [04:06] Gryllida, just the live cd, ubuntu itself loads in about 20 seconds maybe [04:06] what topic are you talking? [04:06] codebrainz: check for what's wrong [04:06] codebrainz: oh, ok [04:06] codebrainz, I do remember I updated some stuff last night using the Update Manager, think that could of mess it up? [04:06] Gryllida, why? it runs fine. it just takes forever to decompress the sqfs image from cd on here [04:06] ok [04:06] anyone recommend a particular XMPP client? [04:06] Pidgin [04:06] Empathy [04:07] any other suggesstions on how to speed up ubuntu with only 512mb ram? besides just upgrading the ram [04:07] !XMPP [04:07] hmm [04:07] these two anyways [04:07] Empathy. how do i connect it to a random XMPP server? [04:07] Uruoki, it's entirely possible [04:07] _maybe_ it's /server servernamehere, never tried though [04:07] noob: use xubuntu instead of ubuntu.. it does a bit better with low ram [04:07] codebrainz, its just stuff like "registered cpu, ram, usb drive". Also my flash drive doesn't light up any more. [04:07] codebrainz, Anyway I can check what was updated and revert it back? [04:07] i opened it, it doesn't mention raw XMPP, just particular services, not including google talk [04:08] How do I get Ubuntu to automatically connect to any open access point it finds? [04:08] Uruoki, i believe so, ask the channel, I'm not 100% how [04:08] wait, i just missed it [04:08] o man i just got used to ubuntu does xubuntu have a different gui? [04:08] so will I be able to install all the stuff I need to have the gnome desktop I had with Ubuntu 10.04 with Ubuntu 10.04 Server? [04:08] Does anybody know where are the "Keyboard Shortcuts" settings saved? I'd like to backup them so I don't have to set them up again when I reinstall my system [04:08] this is a hell of a lot of B.S. to get a damned RAID 0 partition [04:08] Anyone know how to check what files was last updated, and if it is possible to revert those changes? === vire is now known as HurryPeter [04:08] hrm. i thought XMPP could do audio and video chat? [04:08] Raj, is there an option for "safe graphics mode" or something in the boot menu? [04:08] maybe? [04:09] blendmaster1024: it can. maybe not your program [04:09] aw [04:09] hola si ahi mujeres bella aqui en cordoba [04:09] maybe pigeon can [04:09] Pidgin* [04:09] noob, xubuntu uses xfce, its not much of a difference in UI if you've used gnome for a while [04:09] Uruoki, if the kernel was upgraded, you should see the old one in the grub menu when you boot, try selecting the older version and see what happens [04:09] my Tv is conected via DVI to HDMI but my TV says unsuported RES how do change it [04:10] noob, yes xubuntu has a different gui [04:10] 06270643062a0628 0627063306450643 0641064a 062706440645064306270646 062706440645062e06350635 0627062f064606270647 062b0645 0625062e062a0631 0625062d062f0649 06270644063a06310641 0627064406350648062a064a0629 [04:10] codebrainz, it wasn't the kernel. I wish it was though. [04:10] will it be a noticeabley faster experience with xubuntu or just a little? i dread reinstalling OSes [04:10] codebrainz, there isn't. [04:11] noob, you don't have to reinstall ubuntu. IIRC you can just type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [04:11] noob, it will certainly be faster if you are using an old machine [04:11] JackStoner, noob has an athlon 3400+ and 500MB of ram [04:11] ahem 3200+ [04:11] noob: you don't need to reinstall, just install xubuntu-desktop and if you like it you can get rid of gnome/ubuntu.. read !purexfce [04:11] seidos, then it will be faster :P [04:11] top of the line back in its day =P [04:12] noob: try apt-get install fluxbox [04:12] Raj, I'm pretty sure it's in there somehow, try the F keys, F6 maybe, and you can remove the graphics stuff from the kernel options (I don't want to boot a livecd to find it) [04:12] my mistake, 3200+ [04:12] noob: try * sudo apt-get install fluxbox [04:12] seidos. no worries i was just making a joke [04:12] wise, wat is fluxbox? sounds dangerous [04:12] Raj, i think it's F4 key [04:12] lol [04:12] no it some kind like xfce [04:13] it will make my system go faster you say?

[04:27] its hit or miss with vocal stripping [04:27] yes [04:28] r0zz, that's gonna be a tough one. there's probably a way to filter it out somewhat, I'm not sure what program can do that though. === Ryu is now known as Guest40453 [04:29] codebrainz, I pressed F6 and some other buttons while the code was ruinning (after I pressed install). It showed "Ubuntu" in the regular code font and 4 circles that looked pretty Web 2.0-esque for a few seconds. Then it just turned black and my USB flash drive light stopped blinking.

It happens on occasion. [04:33] ok..

[04:37] Merlin_, i basically came to the conclusion that it's not feasible (i was making some build scripts as well). ymmv [04:37] JoeByte: that's what * does: expands to all non-dotfiles in the present dir. [04:37] prince_jammys: how does it know i am even asking for files [04:37] Anybody have any experience with Ralink RT3070 drivers on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid ?

[04:40] thanks people, be back soon, need to log onto my windows box :-( wish me luck haha [04:40] no sorry 64 [04:40] codebrainz, AMD64 [04:40] what is the difference between the prerm file and the postinst file in .deb packages? [04:41] myrk, prerm happens before the uninstall, postinst happens after the install [04:42] codebrainz so if nothing is uninstalled, then the prerm isnt used? [04:43] myrk, prerm is only run right before uninstalling the package [04:43] codebrainz, I have to use the amd64 version ? [04:43] ok thanks [04:43] :) [04:43] cesar_CR_, no, it's a kernel bug I think [04:44] codebrainz, ufff well I'll start googling [04:44] cesar_CR_, "After spending a good portion of the day pulling my hair out, I figured out that the USB controller in Dell PowerEdges is really flaky and had caused similar problems before.

[04:59] hello world [04:59] warnings but no errors [04:59] ok :D [04:59] codebrainz: ah, I think FAAD2 is only a decoder I'll just have to use faac but I am not sure how to get mplayer or mencoder to regonise it. Would I need to uninstall mplayer etc and re-install from source or can I add it in without a re-install?

I'm having some trouble with the second reboot. It just goes to a grub command prompt. [05:19] So I right clicked on the stupid evolution icon and clicked remove. Good news is it removed the damn evolution mail icon. Bad news is it took the volume applet with it and I cannot get it back. If I try re-adding a notification area applet to the panel, it is just empty with nothing in it. wtf? [05:20] Hey guys, I'm still having this problem with my mouse buttons randomly quit working. I am 90% sure its a software problem though as it happens randomly and it doesn't matter if I'm using my trackpad buttons or an external mouse.

[06:30] chelz: I don't think that bug applies, it should be fixed in 10.04 [06:30] chelz: Do I use the wubildr from that link, or the one in my install directory? what about the .mbr?

[06:33] jook: i think so. if that doesn't work try putting it without folders, but after trying with folders [06:33] codebrainz: nothing like that on lucid [06:33] chelz :I'm just gonna take the shotgun approach.

[06:48] hello [06:48] jook: eh well you could try uninstalling wubi and just install to a partition. removing ubuntu installed to a partition isn't any harder from uninstalling normal wubi, you just resize your windows partition to grow into the space ubuntu used to take [06:48] !lynx [06:48] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [06:49] chelz: one question though: will that install all the packages installed on the first system, or just those explicitly installed? This matters because if I delete a pacakge in the future, it will only recursively delete "orphans" (i.e. packages that were a dependency but no longer are) if they themselves were not explicitly installed. [06:49] codebrainz [06:49] yo [06:49] Ok i got the drivers to compile but the adpater is not showing in the wireless list [06:49] it even inserted [06:49] chelz: I would have tried that already, but I haven't got any blank discs to burn the iso. I'm not afraid of repartinioning and doing a normal dual-boot install. I just can't. [06:49] MMKaho, in the GUI? [06:49] gui? [06:50] Guest561651: that's a good question. you might try seeing where that kind of stuff is stored in apt, some apt cache or database thing, so you can install from that list, then copy over the database or something [06:50] jook: you can use a usb drive [06:50] say, what is this "launchpad-integration" package? i mean, is it actually referring to the website launchpad.net, or what? [06:50] Hi all. Is there a quick way to have samba network shares visible in Firefox "save" dialogue? [06:50] what GUI i was never told anything about a gui [06:50] jook: any usb drives available? [06:50] MMKaho, in nm-applet the gnome thingy? [06:50] jook: or use Wubi for a temporary solution [06:50] MMKaho, in the panel, the little network dealy [06:50] can it be an external hard drive? [06:50] oh the arrows [06:50] no :( [06:50] jook: of course [06:51] Alright, I'll extract the iso to an external HDD and see if I can install from there. [06:51] jook: try using the method for an ordinary USB flash drive [06:51] why Conky keeps disappearing from desktop [06:51] jook: flash drives and externel hard drives "look" the same to the comptuer [06:51] yea not there either [06:51] Guest561651: I've never installed from a USB drive before. Is there a guide? [06:51] jook: use unetbootin [06:51] ubuntu has some sort of guide but it's more complicated than it needs to be [06:52] jook: I think there are instructions right off the home page [06:52] jook or listen to chelz's advice [06:52] jook: I'm not too experienced with this sort of thing [06:52] chelz: I don't know what that is, but google will tell me. [06:52] that's because is not a guide, it's a manual [06:52] chelz* [06:52] no wlan0 or ra0 in my network list at all [06:53] chelz, jook: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download doesn't look too hard to me [06:53] jook: probably should look into removing wubi before doing a normal install [06:54] chelz: Yeah, I figured I would uninstall first. [06:54] if your system will boot off a USB device its not any diff from a cd install. under SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATION, START UP DISK CREATOR is the easy to follow GUI for creating the usb install drive [06:54] karmic desktop switcher revert from 4 desks to 3 desks... any idea? [06:54] question, with ubuntu getting a new version each april, when a new one comes out, like when mavrick comes out next year, do you lose everything when you install maverick? [06:54] chelz, jook: wubi or no wubi shouldn't matter afaik, not a bad idea to uninstall though just to reclaim disk space [06:54] especially considering you'll have to shrink your ntfs partition to install Ubuntu [06:55] qwiksilver711: ubuntu is released every 6 months [06:55] bandung [06:55] Mr_Sonoma: Is that from linux? I can't boot in there [06:55] codebrainz i have even rebooted to see if that was the issue [06:55] Guest561651: That's what I thought. I jsut don't want to blow ten gigs. [06:55] jook: follow the instructions on the link I gave you; it has windows instructions http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [06:55] ok xangua, so when it is realased then in october, is it like a complete new os install each time? [06:55] MMKaho, not sure. check if the wireless is in the /etc/network/interfaces file, if so, comment it out [06:56] Guest561651: Thanks, I'll take a look there. [06:56] qwiksilver711: no, you just update [06:56] cool [06:56] i love ubuntu [06:56] I have ext3 partition (currently only running #! linux) . I want to install XP and dual boot. Gparted cannot resize partition. What to do now ? [06:56] jook, yea its in ubuntu. [06:56] yea its not in there [06:57] anyone get broadcom wireless working in ubuntu with kernel 2.6.35 [06:57] i did [06:57] Distrogasm: to resize you have to boot to a live environment [06:57] hey guys my dell inspiron is not giving sound in ubuntu what could be the problem? [06:57] Mr_Sonoma: Doesn't do me any good then, I'm stuck in windows. Thanks though. I think guest561651 has found the way [06:57] ubuntu rocks when it works xd [06:57] oh yeah startup disk creator is good [06:58] Distrogasm: use ubuntu live cd or either gparted live cd [06:58] I'm running ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Mini 9 and I just got a Kodak SD card at CVS [06:58] would using the startup disk creator from a live cd on another computer be a solution? [06:58] is there an application I can run from the command line that makes my cursor an 'x' and allows me to kill the clicked application? [06:58] it's not being recognized [06:58] this card works in WinXP [06:58] Mr_Sonoma: If I could make a live cd, I wouldnt need to go from a USB drive. I don't have any blank discs [06:59] all my other SD HC cards work on this Linux machine [06:59] thank god for KDE [06:59] ah ok, i missunderstood i thought the issue was the system needing ubuntu didnt have a optical drive [06:59] Mr_Sonoma: Nope. I'm all out of CDRs lol [06:59] anybody have any ideas? [07:00] jook: usb booting, for the record, is ridiculously awesome [07:00] Colonel_Panic: backup the stuff on the card and format it to fat32 with gparted in ubuntu [07:00] chelz: I don't want to stay booting from USB. I just want to install from there [07:00] where might I find this card in /dev/? [07:00] jook: yeah, but just the experience is way better [07:00] chelz: the link you gave me seems to do exactly what I want; dpkg only outputs explictly installed packages with --get-selections. Much thanks! [07:00] I already formatt3ed it to FAT32 in WinXP [07:01] there's nothi9ng on the card [07:01] Colonel_Panic: if your system sees it, gparted will list it [07:01] it's brand new [07:01] yeah that's the problem [07:01] Anyone use a kindle w/ os 2.5 and pdfs and ubuntu? How do you copy them?

D: [07:03] mad_dog: what is "hulu"? [07:04] toolbear: hulu.com [07:04] Gwar: It's possible to set scripts to run on login. You could probably do it through there, but I'm not familiar enough with the process to link you. [07:04] hmm, is that flash video, then? [07:05] mad_dog: install flashm install codecs¿ [07:05] i can see the ads but the programs just dont play. I get a blank screen. every other site works. [07:05] including youtube.com [07:05] jook, thank you. I know how to make the script run on login, the problem is it needs to run as sudo, which then asks for my password, 2 seconds after I just typed the thing in to login! D: [07:05] codebrainz yea its not in that file [07:05] are you using a 64 bits OS mad_dog¿ [07:05] any ideas? [07:05] mad_dog: 64bit? [07:05] yes, using x64 [07:05] Gwar: Oh, sorry. Guess I can't help you there, if there's no command to have the script supply the password to itself. [07:05] MMKaho, no idea [07:06] Okay, what on earth? My sound card isnt even found anymore, it just worked a minute ago! [07:06] mad_dog: if you are using also the 64 bits flash plugin don't expect it works in all sites [07:06] Colonel_Panic, sorry i'm fresh out if all your other SD cards work in linux with that reader and your new card is formatted in FAT32 [07:06] hulu.com is the only site that doesn't work..very frustrating. [07:07] mad_dog: yeah, i can see them. i'm on x64. get libflashplayer.so for 64-bit (now discontinued by adobe, but still out there) and just put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [07:07] <[mu]keiserr> hi, am trying to set some pcs for some pre primary school kids for my sis, any idea if there are interesting packages for kids aged 5-10 ? [07:07] thanks [07:07] mad_dog: oh, you can see youtube, etc...? [07:07] i don't use mozilla. I use chrome [07:07] how does an Sd card show up in /dev? [07:07] Alright, the external ahrd drives arent being recognized to make a usb boot disc. I think I've got some microSDs somewhere I can try. [07:08] hi - any rss-readerwith google-sync you can recommend besides liferea? [07:08] i have a strange problem i'm using a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop. i killed wifi using the external kill switch but now when i turn it back on, the wifi doesn't turn on, the bluetooth alone turns on. if i reboot the system, wifi turns on again. can anyone suggest what's wrong? [07:08] should mount to /media [07:08] mad_dog: ahhhh. ok. well, all i can say then is that i can't even remember the last time i had a non-trivial problem with firefox and the 64bit flash plugin [07:09] thanks anyway..will continue my google j0urney..thanks for the help [07:09] the flash 64 bit path is an arduous one [07:09] Hi there, since yesterday, booting 10.04 takes appx. thrice the time it used to. (Desktop stays blank for quite some time before menus appear). Even afterwards, launching progs takes MUCH longer than before. Can I pastebin some logs to see what might be the problem? Thanks, Andy === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [07:10] Blast. Can't find the little case of microSDs. This installation is not going my way. Maybe I can put it on my phone's memory card, mount from there, and do it. [07:10] I seem to recall in previous version of Firefox in Ubuntu that it would remember the sites I logged into - so that next time I booted up I did not have log into everywhere again ... this no longer works for some reason unknown to me [07:12] it's not auto-mounting [07:12] i have a strange problem i'm using a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop. i killed wifi using the external kill switch but now when i turn it back on, the wifi doesn't turn on, the bluetooth alone turns on. if i reboot the system, wifi turns on again. can anyone suggest what's wrong? [07:12] Colonel_Panic: try formatting it fat32 in gparted [07:12] how? [07:12] zetheroo: i've tried turning that off on purpose -- to only a mildly significant effect. for me, firefox will remember the sites if i don't close the program before shutting down, restarting, or logging out [07:13] it doesn't eben show up in gparted [07:13] Colonel_Panic: in the upper right list? it's not there? [07:13] *even* [07:13] nope [07:13] check syslog [07:13] I don't get it [07:13] syslog? [07:13] Colonel_Panic, what are you trying to do [07:14] mount a damn sd card [07:14] Colonel_Panic, ya log out and log in again and try, works sometimes [07:14] trupheenix_: um, how many times have you tried this? i had an hp laptop with the same kind of button. i could turn the thing off during an ubuntu session, but it wouldn't turn back on, and i'd have to restart the computer to "activate" the wifi again [07:14] I've tried restarting [07:14] toolbear: well yes, if I shut down and leave Firefox open then next time I boot up and open FF it will start from where I left it ... Except (and this is very annoying) anything I was signed into I will have re-login. [07:14] THAT didn't work... [07:14] Colonel_Panic, check dmesg | tail [07:15] Colonel_Panic, lsusb etcc [07:15] toolbear: i tried it just now. this wasn't a problem on older versions of Ubuntu. i think it's not loading the module for some reason. how would i manually load the module? my driver is iwl3945 [07:15] toolbear: previously it would leave me logged into the sites unless I logged out of them. [07:15] Any idea/instruction? [07:16] zetheroo: really? wow, i've actually never seen that before, even on windows -- but then again i typically logout of sites out of habit anyways [07:16] What's this casper business? http://imgur.com/fKfH3.png [07:16] Sorry for reposting: Hi there, since yesterday, booting 10.04 takes appx. thrice the time it used to. (Desktop stays blank for quite some time before menus appear). Even afterwards, launching progs takes MUCH longer than before. Can I pastebin some logs to see what might be the problem? Thanks, Andy [07:17] jook, what casper [07:17] jook, casper is the thing which does al the mounting stuff etf for live cd [07:17] indus: This here http://imgur.com/fKfH3.png [07:18] dmesg|tail: http://pastebin.ca/1888255 [07:18] toolbear: well I explicitly recall remaining logged into my Google account after a reboot ... unless I manually logged out of my Google account [07:18] trupheenix_: i guess you'd try using modprobe -- to load a module. you can find out which modules are loaded with "lsmod", and probably iwconfig or ifconfig or dmesg can give you a better idea of whether or not the wifi card is recognized at all [07:18] toolbear: i think the module doesn't get loaded or something. otherwise the light would have turned on by itself. [07:18] lsusb doesn't show it [07:18] indus: What should I ought to do with that, then? I don't know what persistence is about either. Since it's optional, should I just say none? [07:18] jook, so casper is the live cd thing which helps run stuff [07:18] zetheroo: oh, i believe you. it's just something that i wouldn't have ever taken note of, i guess [07:19] jook, persistence means, any files saved during live session will remain on reboot [07:19] toolbear: yeah ... ok [07:19] jook, otherwise in live environment, its not the case [07:19] Why does ubuntu.com say on there download-page "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage"? I have a Core2Quad ith 8gb RAM - why not use 64 bit linux? [07:19] indus: Oh, okay. I don't care about that then. I don't plan to stay in live mode. Just gonna install from the drive. Thanks. [07:19] jook, previously there was live cd so we couldnt save stuff anyway, except on hard disk , but now you can save stuff to the usb device [07:19] trupheenix_: well, do you see any relevant modules after typing in 'lsmod'? [07:19] Yes. There appears to be a problem in dmesg. What is it? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JdE8i5p5 [07:19] jook, kk [07:19] toolbear: waits [07:20] I guess I could use my other card to shuttle the files back & forth via the XP laptop [07:20] jook, i recommend keep it, will come in handy [07:20] toolbear: iwl3945 and iwlcore [07:20] I want to free up a USB stick so I can install the Ubuntu netbook remix [07:21] or some other lightweight OS [07:21] indus: I'm using my phone's memory card for the usb drive. No space to set aside for it anyway, now that I think of it. [07:21] jook, ok cool [07:21] jook, didnt know you could do that :) [07:21] indus: haha, it's the only usb thing I could find to work. I jsut mounted the drive from my phone and I'm installing it there [07:22] if i use the same home directory for Arch and Ubuntu, it wont cause any problems apart from bashrc will it? [07:22] trupheenix_: hmmm. well, what if you restarted the computer, and pressed the wifi button before ubuntu even loaded? [07:23] trupheenix_: i mean, would you expect to see the led/light turn on then? [07:24] toolbear: fixed it :) [07:24] zetheroo: wow. how, may i ask? [07:24] toolbear: yea.... [07:24] toolbear: did modprobe wifi light back on! :) [07:24] trupheenix_: oh, nice!!! [07:25] How do i get access to #ubuntu-forums and #ubuntu-programming ? === metze_away is now known as metze [07:25] hi guys do we have a program that is more likely the itunes i want to organize my video do we have that kind of a program. pls help me... [07:26] anthony_: are you using an iPod? [07:26] toolbear: in FF prefs under the privacy tab there is an option to Accept third-party cookies and "Keep until" .... the "Keep until" was set to "I close Firefox" ... I set it to "they expire" and it's sorted! [07:27] no i not using any apple item i just want to organize my video. [07:27] zetheroo: ahhh, makes sense. thanks, i think that might be rather convenient. [07:27] Can someone help me with dd and backing up my entire drive to a removable USB image? [07:28] toolbear: yeah ... definitely will make my life a little easier .. heh ;) [07:28] anthony_: have yuo tried Amarok? [07:28] Colonel_Panic:no i not using any apple item i just want to organize my video. [07:29] Amarok is pretty good for organizing media [07:29] yes but it does not organize my videos [07:30] anyone ??? [07:32] Colonel_Panic: amarok i nice but i need something thats more like an itune that i can see a priview of the video before i whatch it. === xmu is now known as wowoto [07:35] anthony_: amarok is a music player, not a video player. [07:37] FullFlannelJacke: yes i know thats why i don't need that program i need something to organize my video like a program that is more likely like itune... === sixtila is now known as Guest26914 [07:39] hi, i was deinstalling some CUPS programs and endended up removing the whole xubuntu desktop, now i have no window manager at all. I am going to go ahead and install xubuntu-desktop, but was wondering what else should i install? what else comes with the fresh installation of xubuntu lucid? [07:44] clao, thats probably the best way to go. === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:49] is there a way to set my laptop's fans to run at 100%? [07:50] It's quite hot here and I need all the help cooling this as possible [07:51] Type-O: maybe try the bios? === nick_ is now known as nickgarvey [07:52] toolbear, nope... [07:53] * Type-O just decides to power google this one [08:00] woot 10.04 installed..so if i d/l studio software? i would be "less" supported? === Traveler4 is now known as ubufool [08:03] hi? [08:03] o. === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [08:03] any ideas?^ [08:04] Type-O, usually the fan is temperature controlled anyway and should be already running at 100% if it is really hot, laptops can get very, very hot, would place it on something that absorbs the heat a bit [08:04] what laptop? some just suck at cooling period [08:05] has a fix been found for no sound in flash in firefox? [08:06] Hello, World! [08:07] ubutom_, the fans are off and it's overheating in a 70c room. The laptops run in windows 7 [08:07] the fans run* [08:07] ubufool, I mean a 70f room [08:08] ubutom_, *** === Andorin is now known as AK|out [08:08] 70* is ambiant for a reason.. it's like idle air..and about the time air flow doesn't cool as well [08:09] ubufool, it's a year old toshiba [08:09] ubufool, all I know is when a laptops core temp hits 100c it better turn on the fans [08:09] ty lol tab goes to the address bar now =c [08:09] Type-O, if it is really overheating, it would freeze or go off or melt ;) [08:09] and it doesn't [08:10] no [08:10] ubufool, yeah and it's shutting itself off [08:10] aka overheating [08:10] often it will cook and try to do it's job === karthik is now known as Guest16573 [08:10] unless it has some sort of thermal guards [08:10] Type-O, sounds like a hardware problem [08:10] ubufool, no [08:10] shorts and stuff will happen if over heting persists [08:11] the wires in the motherboard get hott too [08:11] ubufool, basic deduction tells you if the fans turn on in windows 7 and doesn't overheat that it1s a software problem [08:11] some air flow will keep it cool why is the fan stopped? [08:11] you liquitdated it! very resourceful [08:11] hi .. I am using ubuntu 10.04 .. Everytime during the updates I am getting error '' Could not download all repository indexes '' .. Its saying 'Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386.........' [08:12] Guest16573: me thinks you did an update, and not a clean install of 10.04? [08:12] type-o well what is runing.. when it's "cool" it's idle.. even booting will heat it up [08:12] Why is gnome-power-manager using 242.8MiB of RAM? === i is now known as Guest12825 [08:12] I accidentally typed two initial caps in my name "JOhn Doe" instead of "John Doe"; how can I correct it? [08:13] lots of hd's and usb sticks? [08:13] ubufool, firefox and the desktop or sometimes just the desktop [08:13] a short it's preventing from hurting other parts? [08:13] Blue1: I did upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 online .. [08:13] dos [08:13] it's a laptop, you tell me if it has lots of hard drives [08:14] Guest16573: yeah it sounds like things got a little comingled during the upgrade process. best suggestion-- backup /etc/ and /home/ and do a clean install/restore [08:14] yeah, it has 30 mini hard drives hanging off the case [08:14] when there is no airflow..and no liquid cooling.. the slightest cpu intructions cuase it too heat up.. [08:14] i've used usb stick as ram..and hd's its cool.. but they do heat up [08:14] ubufool, do you, or do you not know how to adjust acpi fan settings or not? [08:15] Blue1: okay thanks.. [08:15] type-o there is a good question i never heard [08:15] that's all I'm asking [08:15] Type-O, you didn't say that it doesn'T overheat with windows 7, could be an acpi bug then [08:15] type i was under the impression that heating was your issue [08:15] and cooling [08:15] ... [08:15] Is it a good idea to copy all the ~/.* folders (i.e. the config folders) from my old install to my new install? [08:16] it's sounds like you have a solution tho [08:16] Guest165146851, usually yes [08:16] ubutom_: ok thanks [08:16] ubutom_: It's a fresh install so I can't imagine there being settings conflicts, considering this install has only defaults [08:17] does anyone know how to adjust acpi fan settings? [08:17] Oh wait [08:17] ok thanks [08:17] Guest165146851, but I just copy the ones with useful data, like the thunderbird and firefox profiles and so on, other config files could mess up the appearance of gnome and so on [08:17] Guest165146851, yeah, should be fine then [08:18] /msg ubottu acpi [08:18] type if you can be patient we can figure it out [08:18] I accidentally typed two initial caps in my name ("JOhn Doe" instead of "John Doe") when installing Ubuntu; how can I correct it? [08:18] Hey folks looking for someone possibly experinced with installing Win 7 and Ubuntu on the same machine... I did a dual boot set up... unfotunately with no swap file and i've come across a slew of erros and i ponder if it's fault of OS install or missing swap file... [08:18] hello, I have a problem with Cpu frequency monitor, I am core2duo 6300@2,7 user and I cant change CPU0's speed from 2,7 to 3,15 but there is no problem for CPU1. what should I do? [08:18] Type-O: the gnome CPU scaling monitor allows to set power options. For my CPU, the setting "Performance" lets the fans run at max speed all the time. Depends on vendor I assume. [08:19] Initally one problem is when logging in (with correct video drivers) My password bar doesn't appear, secondly i took nearly 15 minutes to install Quassel on ubuntu which seems a bit excessive... [08:19] Guest165146851, have the solution [08:19] loewi, that might work [08:19] 100% fan is often not needed and wears them out quickly.. [08:19] if i'm going to partition a 500gb drive, and use windows for all my gaming, and ubuntu for pretty much everything else, is around 100gb good enough for ubuntu partition do you think? (yes, I do have like 400 gb of games) [08:20] qwiksilver711: definitely [08:20] Type-O: be careful: downside is, that the CPU runs on max performance as well... [08:20] yea [08:20] qwiksilver711: the Ubuntu install itself prolly won't go over 10 GB, and that's if you install everything and the kitchen sink [08:20] loewi: I have the similiar problem :) [08:20] ubuntu is nice with it's plug and playness..you could always add more later [08:21] ok, next question, i have a laptop that has a switchable graphics card, and i find that ubuntu (using it the wubi way right now) is using the nvidia card, and I would prefer it not to, for battery life reasons, how do i make it not use my good card [08:21] alt 10.4 said it was like 600mb?? [08:21] Guest165146851, sudo usermod -l JOhn Doe John Doe should rename your user, the home dir has to be changed accordingly by hand [08:21] ubutom_: the home dir is fine, it's insensitive to capitalization [08:21] you can turn it off and on right? [08:22] it's just /home/john either way [08:22] ty guest [08:22] i can turn if off and on in windows [08:22] thats good to know -.- [08:22] but not in ubuntu [08:22] right enable disable.. [08:22] have you looked for a device manager? [08:22] Guest165146851, ok, tried that command, didn't function as I intened, anyways, man usermod should be good place to look :) [08:22] ubutom_: that doesn't do what I want [08:23] ubutom_: thanks [08:23] anyway [08:23] a device manager? [08:23] Guest165146851: what does ''grep Doe /etc/passwd'' say? [08:23] prince_jammys: no lines returned [08:23] prince_jammys: that makes sense [08:24] Guest165146851: ok. replace Doe with whatever the name was. [08:24] prince_jammys: oh oops you're right [08:24] i'm an idiot [08:25] yea other wise you'd be using command lines and physicla addresses and commands [08:25] hello, does anybody know an app for batch resizing, croping, rotating multiple images? [08:26] well.. i downloaded a windows file and try to run it but it gives me an error saying that file is not marked as executable. how cani run it? or mark it executable? [08:26] ok done [08:26] prince_jammys, ubutom_ it would be helpful if I were just to know what this name is called [08:27] Guest165146851: the 'comment' field, or gecos [08:27] Guest165146851: i believe you can replace it with usermod -c [08:28] prince_jammys: thanks. The manpage redirected me to the chfn command for this purpose; it seems that it will do exactly what I want [08:28] Hm, I'm kinda lost with usermod, tried to rename myself, but it keeps saying the user doesn't exist when I want to rename my user account, maybe it is used in combination with useradd? [08:29] aww fuck [08:29] oops [08:29] sorry for swearing on this chan [08:29] Guest165146851: yep, that works too. [08:29] !swap [08:29] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [08:29] is type-o stil here? === deavidsedice is now known as deavid [08:30] some programs may look for a swap file and not know what to do if one doesnt exist?

I didn't read the command carefully and accidentially set the Full Name for root the first time [08:30] ok, this is weird. I just setup a ubuntu 8.4 xen guest and it appears that it doesnt have iptables support in the kernel. Im getting an error when i run: root@wheelie:~# modprobe ip_tables [08:30] FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.16.el5xen/modules.dep: No such file or directory [08:30] prince_jammys: empty string or "root" I'm guessing?

[08:31] Guest165146851: it's, ahem, not a ubuntu system, but i highly doubt you should care. [08:32] Wanting to verify before using code that I have written this properly to create a swap file "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/2024Mb.swap bs=1M count=2024" [08:32] prince_jammys: yeah shouldn't matter [08:32] i8kutils is meant for dell laptops..but it may be similar enough to help? [08:32] ubufool, I will check it out tommorow the computer in question is not on site, I will check it out when it's in front of me [08:32] ubufool, i8k is for older dells [08:32] I don't have a swap partion so i'm trying to create it locally within my current partion. unfornately i can't find a direct guide just 2 that dance around it.

[08:46] im trying to rsync but there seems to be some permission error [08:46] http://codepaste.net/rpohco [08:47] arunkumar413: try aptoncd [08:47] tulimaq: can i copy from 9.04 to 10.4 using aptoncd [08:48] neure: i'm guessing it means you don't have rights to create on the remote system's root directory [08:48] *to write a file [08:48] arunkumar413: yes [08:48] prince_jammys, yes looks like i need to use -T /tmp [08:48] then it works [08:49] tulimaq: currently i'm downloading a package?want to cancel it [08:49] neure: hm, then my guess was wrong, since you seem to be writing files to / [08:49] tulimaq: when i click on cross button the download is not stopping [08:50] prince_jammys, no the files go to /home/user/src/ [08:51] neure: ah. [08:51] arunkumar413: downloading what ? [08:52] tulimaq: a package [08:54] Awesome, thanks again prince_jammys . I was that one Guest 165198166 [08:54] guy [08:55] This system is like an exact clone of the one I had before [08:57] \join #datamapper [08:57] \join #datamapper [08:57] dmg use the other slash [08:57] tulimaq: plz help me kill the download.it is a very big download.Eating my bandwidth [08:57] oh fuc** [08:57] thanks, I'm off today ;0 [08:57] np, just trying to help [09:00] arunkumar413, what happend? [09:01] arunkumar413: is it in a console window ? [09:01] abhi_nav: cant stop a package download [09:02] How does one specify a proxy which requires a username/password, and the username contains an @ character? [09:02] i would guess that you'd use quotes [09:02] arunkumar413, add a force quit icon on panel. then click on that icon and then single click on window of your download [09:03] arunkumar413, to do so create a new custom launcher called "Xkill" with command "xkill" [09:03] join #ppa [09:03] :) [09:04] arunkumar413: or run xkill command in a terminal window and click window u want to close [09:04] server irc.freenode.net [09:04] can someone give me a hand compiling mplayer from source it isn't detecting codecs like xvid and x264 despite them being installed [09:04] arunkumar413, I recommend using the icon /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/48/stop.svg [09:04] sebar25, use forward slash e.g. /join or /server etc [09:05] arunkumar413, I have the exact same thing setup on my panel [09:05] Is there a way to get gwibber to show an icon in the old Notification Area? [09:05] R3cur51v3: thanks [09:06] arunkumar413, for a one-time thing you can just do Alt-F2 and then type xkill as tulimaq suggested [09:06] but I find a reusable launcher is useful when you have frequent freezes [09:07] tulimaq: ok,now installed aptoncd in 10.4. [09:08] tulimaq: now how to copy the packages and their dependencies in 9.04 to 10.4 [09:10] I'm having a problem with my screen resolution. I cannot get it to 1280x1024@60 when that is my monitor's native resolution. [09:10] schultza what graphics card are you using? [09:11] some how my horizontal scrolling seems to be reversed. I mean, when I pull down I go down. when I pull right I should go right, not left >.<. or at the very least the vertical and horizontal commands shouldn't contradict one another like this... my poor brain [09:12] um.. how to i have the system list it?

[09:48] transmission^ [09:50] you should be able to d/l the torrent and point it to the file on your drive [09:51] ^^vulc right.. but i have the same file on another hd.. don't know where..it was 8.04.. can i add both files to be seeded from both hd's? === ogra_ is now known as ogra [09:52] that would require a seperate torrent for each file, i think [09:54] hmm [09:55] we'll see i just found it [09:57] drats it's greyed out..transmission greyed out...what's that mean? [09:58] ' don't know sorry [09:58] hmm 12-25mb/s =c [09:58] and i'm d/ling 2gb's from the depo for ubustudio.. [10:00] me i got 56 kbits / s [10:00] :p [10:00] xD [10:00] i'm holding on to 4 56k's for a network i want to make public [10:00] millibits? that's pretty slow. [10:00] MB/s [10:01] hum [10:01] i got 1800 ms ( ping ) [10:01] everytime [10:01] Chousuke: what's a millibit? [10:01] gentooxer: mb :P [10:01] i tried to add the older file and transmission greyed out and then got an error saying that file had curropt torrent? [10:01] Good Morning, I would like to ask if it's possible to safely 'upgrade' an Ubuntu 32bit to an Ubuntu 64bit Version. It's 9.10. [10:01] so - fun times. any one of you 1425 people out there play NWN? If so, would you happen to know a good nwscript irc channel which isn't neverwinterconnections? [10:01] i live in réunion island so there is not really good internet here [10:01] Chousuke: Do you mean mibibit? [10:02] ubufool: do you have cache close to you or which ISP offers a connection that fast? [10:02] twobee: nope.. not possible.. [10:02] twobee - bad idea [10:02] gentooxer: that would be mib [10:02] XD [10:02] twobee: at least not supported.. I can't really say if it's impossible or not.. [10:02] hello [10:02] or megabit.. [10:02] if iptables isnt in /etc/init.d/, it shouldnt be loading on boot. Correct? [10:02] any word on when the packaged mplayer will be brought up to date? I need vdpau. [10:03] Chousuke: There's no such thing like millibit ... [10:03] twobee: you would have to download *all* the packages again anyways.. so you might as well do a new install [10:03] gentooxer: sure there is. [10:03] Slart: Thank you. [10:03] gentooxer: if you get 1 mb/s it means you get 1b/1000s [10:03] lol [10:03] Chousuke: Do you have a computer platform of your own? [10:03] cho..cahce?? it's comcast.. 6mb constant 20mb media boost.. i'm not sopposed to be getting theese speeds..i have 3 nics and one wifi same source/router/ip [10:03] could walk the data over faster than that [10:04] ubufool: oh, so you meant Mb and not MB? :/ [10:04] Chousuke: That means you get 1024 Bit per secound [10:04] mega byte not mega bit.. [10:04] 12,000kilobytes is 12 megabytes [10:05] ubufool: if you get 25MB/s then it'd mean you have a 300Mbps connection or something which is rather impressive :P [10:05] gentooxer: huh? :P [10:06] cho..yea untill they figure out i hit their 300gb cap in less then 12 hrs..but so far it hasn't been an issue..i move 300gb+ within 24hrs usually on a good day [10:06] gentooxer: 1b/1000s means 1 bit per thousand seconds. [10:06] Chousuke: A bit is a bit [10:06] gentooxer: yes, and a millibit is a millibit [10:06] Chousuke: you can't divide one bit [10:06] i don't think the usa,va customers have a cap... [10:07] guys, you may want to take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:07] gentooxer: it doesn't actually have to exist for it to be mathematically usable. [10:07] yea you can divide bits hehe [10:07] Chousuke: its Bullshit you know [10:07] cellphones divide bits xD [10:07] gentooxer: stop that language [10:07] ubufool: how? [10:07] sorry [10:07] gentooxer:eh, it's basic maths. ;P [10:07] guys - please take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:08] ikonia: the only problem is that we're not really interrupting other people [10:08] but yeah, no use talking about it here [10:08] Chousuke: so then divide an integer [10:08] if you take it to offtopic then the chanel will be dead :( [10:08] Vovk: that doesn't change anything, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:08] gentooxer: sure. 1 divided by 2 is 1/2; or 0.5 [10:08] cousin_ it's part of the scramble and decodeing /encodeing that happens as part fo their communication..some bits are lost === aux is now known as conradsteink [10:08] Vovk: sure you are.. I'm to confused by all these numbers and units to even think of asking my own question =) [10:08] Chousuke: gentooxer ubufool stop this now [10:08] O.o sure thing. i'll take that stick too... might wanna bleach it first [10:08] o.0 [10:08] lol Slart ask away! [10:08] it's problem solving? [10:09] ubufool: the channel is ubuntu support, take the offtopic broadband/network discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [10:09] and we ar answering many questions i've previously asked for help with hours ago.. [10:09] ubufool: losing bits doesn't mean dividing them..you are probably referring to encoding [10:09] this is really bothering you isn't it... if we all go to off topic then we won't be here to answer real questions O.o [10:09] like PCM [10:09] too much order can be harmful to the community [10:09] ubufool: how many questions you answer doesn't allow you to take the channel offtopic, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:09] ubufool: once an op asks you to stop it's wise to take the advice.. [10:10] this is the last time I'll ask [10:10] i have stopped!! [10:10] =c [10:10] so errm - ubuntu question: why does my wicd stop working whenever i go into standby mode? [10:10] stop spamming me ! [10:10] well - any network manager [10:10] restarting wicd doesn't help - must restart box [10:10] hi! i am having problems unencrypting my home folder since 1 week ago, i think it was after an update i've made. Help please =D [10:11] i always knew having a bit "encrypt my folders" button was a bad idea... [10:11] big* [10:11] Hi all... Can anyone tell me if there is an issue with keyserver.ubuntu.com... Trying to add a PPA and it is just hanging... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots [10:11] conradsteink: eep, that's not a fun problem. :/ too bad I have no idea what ubuntu's home encryption thing does. [10:12] selinuxium: someone had problems accessing it yesterday.. it might be having a bad week or something [10:12] selinuxium: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ claims to be working though.. so at least the machine is up and running [10:12] hi - any rss-reader you can recommend? (in best case with support for google-reader-sync) - found liferea - which offers the basic function but feels pretty slow [10:13] IK how does bandwidth usage qualify as off topic if i'm/we are using ubuntu? [10:13] selinuxium - you can do sudo apt-get-repository now? just tried it and got command not found O.o [10:13] ubufool: this is your final warning - please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss it [10:13] Vovk: add-apt-repository, not apt-get-repository [10:13] aah right [10:13] How do I change default background color in links2? I try to do it in Setup > Miscellaneous, which doesn't do anything and resets to e0e0e0 after restart. [10:14] Chousuke: yes, it isn't fun :S . I also don't know how the encryption works, the only thing i know that it uses "ecryptfs" to encrypt the folder [10:14] selinuxium - works fine for me === pwnzorz_ is now known as pwnzorz [10:14] just added it [10:14] conradsteink: have you tried to mount it manually from the terminal? [10:14] conradsteink: that would be useful in seeing what error you get [10:15] conradsteink: also, "dmesg" will give you the kernel log, which might contain something about the mount failure. [10:15] Chousuke, conradsteink: do you still have the key/password/whatever you used to encrypt it? [10:15] preparing some command output for sending to a pastebin .. [10:16] pastebinit is a useful tool [10:16] then you can just do command | pastebinit [10:17] can anyone give me some help with radeon drivers, i cant enable compiz or i get super slow 2d gfx using offical driver [10:17] Chousuke: nice tool, thanks [10:17] lol jrd0 - number one rule: don't buy ATI [10:18] meh, do buy ati :P [10:18] hrhr [10:18] had to mess with my dads for AAAGES getting it to work properly [10:18] they at least release the specs for their hardware now [10:18] jrd0: Radeon drivers have great support, do not listen to Vovk [10:18] i prefer ati [10:18] jrd0: Can you come to #compiz?

[10:21] Vovk should I umount it? [10:21] yes. [10:22] ct529, yeah, you shouldn't format a mounted drive [10:22] ct529, but even if it were mounted it would still show up in gparted === ara_ is now known as ara [10:22] hi all i am testing ubuntu 9.10 live cd on my laptop how can i set up dual screen. atm when i plugg in the 2nd seccond screen it is showing same as laptop but blury [10:22] i am thinking its to do with drivers not being installed but its a live cd lol [10:22] Vovk it shows but it does not format [10:22] Hello, I can someone help me please?

[10:31] Vovk, any idea why it is not automounting? it always worked before but for some reason today it seems that it dosent want to read any of my CDs or DVDs [10:31] abuayyoub, have you checked the physical connections? does it work in a live environment, or maybe a dual booted system? [10:32] abuayyoub, this is just a symlink to sr0 on my system, but maybe it points somewhere different on yours. try /dev/cdrom [10:33] abuayyoub, /dev/dvd , /dev/dvdrw , /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw all point to the same place on my system... but i really don't know what setup you have... === vu1kan_ is now known as vu1kan [10:33] that's ironic... [10:33] http://pastebin.com/wMpGQber [10:33] Vovk: hmm? [10:33] Chousuke: http://pastebin.com/wMpGQber [10:34] rww - the floodbot flooding [10:35] Vovk: oh. They get uppity when one of them gets disconnected. [10:35] anyone know why I lose my wireless daemon every time i go into standby? it's whatever is behind wicd and network manager because both of those fail after i close my laptop's lid... [10:35] rww: it doesn't reset on restart now. but the baackground isn't white yet though... [10:35] rww, fair enough [10:35] Vovk, it's a laptop and only has one DVD drive [10:35] I looked in /dev ther eis no dvd nothing there also no cd/cdrw nothing [10:35] abuayyoub, hmm... hard to check a physical connection on a laptop - and you say /dev/dvd doesn't work? [10:35] conradsteink: hm, there are a few files owned by root [10:35] Vovk, i am running x64 sony laptop with lucid [10:36] conradsteink: in the .Private dir [10:36] conradsteink: maybe you should change them so that you own them [10:36] abuayyoub, really... do ls -lah /dev | grep -i cd [10:36] Chousuke: ok, will try [10:36] abuayyoub, hmm... using 32 bit lucid on a dell latitude e5500 [10:36] hii world [10:37] hi kaki [10:37] hii kaki [10:37] conradsteink: then there's the file that has only an uid as owner [10:37] rww, Gryllida Vovk conradsteink there is no sys>Prefferances>display i am on 9.10 live cd [10:37] conradsteink: You probably should change that too [10:37] Vovk, command not found [10:37] MonkeyMan: sorry. Try Monitors? [10:37] Vovk, like I said, yesterday everything worked find. [10:37] MonkeyMan: system preferences monitors [10:37] abuayyoub, ls was not found? or grep? [10:38] i fiund it there dont worrie i cant see for looking lol [10:38] vovk -lah [10:38] Hi, I've been having a bit of a problem with an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04. I've had update-manager running for quite a while, yet now it seems to be frozen for some reason. The last line on the terminal display says: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 753 in emit [10:38] hmmm... Slightly annoyed at gnome-panel having dependencies on evolution... removed all of evolution from my system and gnome-panel went to... [10:38] I've googled "ubuntu update-manager frozen", "ubuntu 8.04 update manager hangs" "ubuntu 10.-4 update manager hangs" and many other terms, but I can't seem to find out what's wrong with it - the System Monitor isn't listing the process either. Has anyone else here had this problem, and if so, can someone give me a nudge in the right direction as to how to continue with the upgrade? [10:38] s/to/too/ [10:38] Now the new user switcher is no longer there following the reinstall... [10:38] Chousuke: changing with chown -R aux:aux . , hope ti changes this "uid" user too [10:38] conradsteink: yeah, it will [10:38] abuayyoub, you put too many spaces in between ls and -lah. [10:38] abuayyoub, should be ls -lah (one space) [10:38] actually [10:38] how do i resize my filesystem? [10:39] two spaces work too [10:39] whoops lol [10:39] what in hell is going on? [10:39] Vovk, [10:39] unless you typed 1ah with a one [10:39] Vovk: spaces don't matter [10:39] ubufool: with gparted; form a livecd [10:39] =c [10:39] Vovk: there can be a million, it'll work just fine :) [10:39] vovk, what am I looking for here [10:39] Chousuke, lol i just realized that... so why does it think that -lah is a command? [10:39] i hav a couple that come up and say root cdrom [10:39] ubufool: "gparted" without quotes in Terminal [10:39] abuayyoub, it should say something like cdrom -> sr0 [10:39] in a bunch of columns [10:40] Vovk: probably wrong input [10:40] Chousuke: [10:40] Chousuke: =D [10:40] Chousuke: =DD [10:40] conradsteink: does it work now? [10:40] Chousuke, i just did it myself - works fine unless he's not copy/pasting [10:40] Chousuke: yes, my files are back!!! [10:40] conradsteink: excellent [10:40] vovk, cdrom -> sr0 [10:40] Chousuke: thx a lot, nice to meet you ;) [10:40] oh [10:40] hi i cant able to play videos what to do [10:40] Vovk, I forget the ls' before lol thats why it came back as command not found lol [10:40] abuayyoub, so there IS something in your /dev directory called cdrom ;) you liar [10:40] oh lol [10:41] lol [10:41] so [10:41] put a cd or dvd in the drive and do this [10:41] sudo mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mnt [10:41] i cant able to play videos what to do [10:41] then look inside the /mnt directory, there should be something there [10:41] Prabs - download vlc :3 [10:41] !video|Prabs [10:41] Prabs: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [10:41] ya i installed it [10:42] Prabs, follow ubottu :P [10:42] thanks man [10:42] hey, what does the loop command do? [10:42] abuayyoub, it worked?

[10:43] so you need to tell mount to treat it like a filesystem [10:43] Vovk, i'm up and burnin thanks man. Not sure why it stopped auto mounting but seems to be working now. [10:43] abuayyoub, it's automounting now? [10:44] abuayyoub, it should have just mounted once, to /mnt. [10:44] abuayyoub, to make it automount you need to edit /etc/fstab [10:44] Vovk, yea, werid ah? I mounted, unmounted just to see if it would work. took the DVD out of the tray and not it's auto mounting again. WTF right? [10:44] Chousuke: bye, i will login now with my user who owns the recovered encrypted folder :D [10:44] abuayyoub, it's automounting again... bizzare... [10:44] bye all!

I been looking for 3 weeks to find ssudo mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mntetomeone on IRC who has NSBget installed on their machine. apparently noone uses Usenet anymore [10:46] lol [10:47] Vovk, whoops [10:47] Vovk, llol [10:47] hehe [10:47] hello [10:47] Hi [10:47] hiya [10:47] vovk, no, sorry.

I try to do it in Setup > Miscellaneous, change it to ffffff, which doesn't do anything with currently open webpages. I hit 'save options', it doesn't reset on restart. but the baackground isn't white yet though... [10:49] kaki - he wasn't able to automount, but forcing it to mount into a random directory suddenly started it working again O.o [10:49] you welcome [10:49] kaki - :P surely you jest [10:49] I can also provide logs if needed, too, by the way. [10:49] by modifing /etc/fstab ???? [10:49] Is there something I can turn on/enable for gnome-terminal that will let me click on file paths and open them? (Much the same way it does with URLs already, for example.) [10:49] kaki, not even! I thought he was going to have to [10:49] kaki, just used sudo mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mnt ....

[10:52] <_-XPERT-1> Gryllida: I am missing strongswan-sha1 [10:52] Vovk: standby closes all network connections, that is the fact [10:52] kaki, i'd really like to close the lid without having to restart... [10:52] Gryllida, i been asking for about 3 weeks now lol haven't found a single soul who has used it before haha. I thought it was a popular program apparently not.

[11:24] what will be the solution for this... [11:24] Kartagis: because you don't mount network devices as vfat [11:24] this is odd i dont have this problem in 32bit [11:25] alohadoubt: it's nothting to do with 64bit [11:25] ikonia, whether it's linux or windows? [11:25] alohadoubt: I suggest using the mysql documentaed prodedure for recovering the password, verify it, [11:25] hy. Does Gnome obey the gtk-icon sizes set in themes? [11:25] Kartagis: either way, you don't mount network file systems as vfat, it has to be a network file system such as nfs/samba/cifs [11:25] honestly im using ubuntu 6 on 32bit and this is the first time i've installed mysql5 on xen 64bit with ubuntu 9.04 [11:25] how do I mount a disk as additional space for /home not displaying it at my desktop?

[11:27] reactor: you can't do that as I've said [11:27] erUSUL: hmm but I think I'll still see it [11:27] reactor: you'd have to mount the second driver a directory under /home [11:27] ok [11:27] alohadoubt: look up mysql recovery options to get your root password right, and verify it [11:27] hey. is it OK that in /proc/meminfo, the MemFree + Cached + Active + Inactive fields only amount to about half my RAM? [11:28] reactor: if it is mounted in /mnt/ it will no show up afaics [11:28] erUSUL: roger that, I'll test [11:29] i already did [11:29] dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 [11:29] password still wrong [11:29] anyone know of an application that would allow me to bind touchpad swipes with functions?

[13:54] anyone have tips on how to speed up my wifi , im running 9.1 [13:54] connection is always at 33 or 41% [13:54] indus: aparently theres some oddity with how ffmpeg works, and the lubrary versioning for ffmpeg with vlc. If you got vlc + ffmpeg for that hardware accel working.. it would break other apps that use the ffmpeg libs.. or somtning like that. [13:54] and all browsers are slow [13:55] yea reading it [13:55] im running lucid lynx and the network manager applet always shows that im not connected to a wireless network even though i am [13:55] indus: you've got a 4850? how is it running in ubuntu? compiz ok? I can't really decide between nvidia and ati for my next card.. *shakes fist at sky* why oh why couldn't you make a nice card when the created the fermi?? [13:55] Slart, with the new ati 10.6 drivers , phenomenal change [13:56] Can someone help me with formatting my hard drive using ubuntu? [13:56] Slart, maximise and minimise windows was a huge issue with the proprietary driver ,compiz on or off, its been fixed now [13:56] ironreaper, i think gparted can do that [13:56] indus: that sounds promising.. and you can underclock it and such when you don't need the power? [13:56] i am new to ubuntu and really fed up of installing ubuntu and then again installing updates?Can i clone my ubuntu partion drive or can i save the updates and just pate them to repscted folder after reinstalling ubuntu.Plz help. [13:57] Helsinkiii, to increase wifi signal strength, you might need a booster, altho it really doesn't affect your surfspeed [13:57] Slart,hmm underclock has to be with the command line tool ati overdrive [13:57] All i need to do is format the whole drive to NFTS, with no partitions [13:57] BluesKaj: then why is my browsing so much slower here than on a windows machine [13:57] Slart, gui in linux dont provide it, overclock yes, dont know about underclock [13:57] also with wifi [13:57] Slart, but, i think the graphics card anyway undervolts to save power, its in hardware [13:58] Slart, both nvidia or ati i belive [13:58] indus: hmm.. I've got a small script running in crontab for my nvidia card to downclock it in linux.. I don't really need the power [13:58] Slart, but not sure, one thing i know is , the open source driver doesnt do it yet for ATI === wwx_ is now known as qq0800 [13:58] plz help ,new to ubuntu [13:58] Helsinkiii, good question , but my experince is that ubuntu browsers are faster than windows [13:58] can anyone point me toward good documentation/tutorial on setting up Ubuntu (both desktop and server) for a corporate type network? [13:58] Slart, so if saving power, use the proprietary driver/ [13:59] nvidia cards downclock automatically (according to the nvidia settings tool) [13:59] BluesKaj: i'm thinking of using Windows for this solw purpose. browsing has become a horrible experience for me [13:59] i think all cards do that [13:59] gfxstyler: mine doesn't.. but it's an 8800gtx.. perhaps it's too old [13:59] Helsinkiii, which browser? [13:59] Slart, do you use the proprietary nvidia driver? [13:59] BluesKaj: all. right now Galeon is the fastest [13:59] gfxstyler: yup [13:59] or least slow [13:59] coolstacy, just wait i have a link for you [14:00] anyways nvidia has that nv clock utilityu to do those things [14:00] gfxstyler: I have to manually downclock it using nvclock [14:00] BluesKaj: video is like the worst experience of all though. i cant play smooth video big [14:00] hi guys does anybody know how to change the folder a user starts in when using ssh? [14:00] oh! thank you some one replied [14:00] indus: thanks for your input.. I'll see what I end up buying [14:00] Slart, for both cards there are tools [14:00] normally it's their home drive but they want to start else where [14:00] Gparted seems a little over my head, Can using the disk utility also work. I choose Format drive and am not sure what to choose. [14:00] Helsinkiii, have you tried chromium-browser ? [14:00] Slart, if i open up the nvidia settings utility (System->Administration->Nvidia bla) there is a section called "PowerMizer" ... it displays the current clock and some powersaving settings [14:01] Slart, but for ATI its command line as far as i know, someone is probably doing a gui app [14:01] !clone | coolstacy [14:01] coolstacy: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [14:01] coolstacy, see if this help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [14:01] BluesKaj-chromium fucked up my install and i had to reinstall [14:01] !language | Helsinkiii [14:01] Helsinkiii: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I can manually change the clocks in "Clock Frequencies" though.. that's what I'm doing in my little crontab script [14:02] Blues Kaj: which could be??????????????????? [14:03] abhi_nav: its seems interesting,i am reading instructions. [14:03] Tricks: it might be some setting in ... ~/.profile perhaps? or one of the other dot files in your home folder [14:03] does anyone in here use rythym box?

[14:14] abhi_nav: now what's this aptoncd ,frankly speaking its just my first week of using ubuntu. [14:15] !aptoncd | coolstacy [14:15] coolstacy: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [14:15] proper cooling = long life [14:15] Hi,i used the recordmy desktop software to record the desktop activity and uploaded it to the youtube.but the youtube is not rendering the video well [14:15] if I know a machine's MAC address, then how can I connect to it with ssh?

[14:16] csaba: if it is in a lan you may get it from the arp cache [14:17] Dr_Willis, a cpu is all etched circuits but a gpu has many things in it, its mostly the ram etc which dies [14:17] csaba: run « arp » in a terminal [14:17] abhi_nav :let me go to terminal and try it . [14:17] coolstacy, note that aptoncd is not perfect backup solution. it only backup installed apps [14:17] ok thanks erUSUL [14:18] hey Bill Gates, i love you. [14:18] coolstacy, using aptoncd then another computer it only resotores archieve and then user again have to install each aps manualy. aptoncd dont do anything automatically.

I dont know about any free such software. may be it is there. not sure. [14:21] coolstacy, i never needed such software. so i dont know much about it.

[14:22] abhi_nav:what do u use to backup,do u again update ur ubuntu. [14:22] getooxer: there should be a tool to distribute traffic.... that manages physical connections and emulates one connection for the operating system... [14:23] coolstacy, i only back music, docs, video and software setup. but i dont thsi manual copy paste. so i dont need backup software. [14:23] meklee: you may need to go to System > Administration > Software Sources and enabled the Partner repository [14:23] IdleOne: that is not there i am in 9.10 [14:23] is there a bruteforce cracker for zips, rars, and, if available, tars? [14:23] Oh, excellent - I've worked out how to add panels to the secondary monitor. But is there a way of sharing desktop panels between monitors (whilst obviously maintaining them as seperate displays)? [14:23] coolstacy, *but i do this manualy* [14:23] Anyone here got amavisd-new working with SPF checking? I can see it getting loaded in mail.info but there's no evidence that checking is being performed [14:23] abhi_nav: istanbul also generates the same format video [14:24] !details | arunkumar413 [14:24] nicofs: yea its called a router [14:24] arunkumar413: Please give us full details.

[14:24] genttoxer: but that router is not inside my latop... [14:24] Slart: is that a library or a program? [14:25] gentooxer: sry for typo [14:25] abhi_nav: no, i want to know why is youtube not rendering the the ogg theora format well [14:25] nicofs: thats right, ist a appliance kind of thing [14:25] abhi_nav:does this work,and if yes where are the updates located so i can copy it to stick and when needed just paste it,to their locations.

[14:29] !flash | meklee [14:29] meklee: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:29] but it does not need I help it wants to talk from Polish user [14:29] abhi_nav:so ubuntu 9.10 app wont work on 10.04,it make an compatibility problem. [14:29] youtube likes to convert videos you upload.. and they often do it badly. :) [14:30] Howdy :-) - How can I decrypt a .axx file in Ubuntu ? [14:30] I'm looking for some reading. I've been using ubuntu for about a year now and I pretty much got day to day use. Any good reading about some intermidate topics? [14:30] abhi_nav :see win7 can run app of xp ,alsoWin 98. [14:30] :j #sysadmin === West is now known as MindWorld [14:31] Danskmand: running AxDecrypt.exe in a vm or perhaps in wine.. not sure if there is a native decrypter for linux [14:31] coolstacy, hhhh? from where does win comes in between? we were discussing about ubuntu. and what i tell you was 64 bit os vs 32 bit os. nothing to do with win. [14:31] Slart: Ah, I see....So my colleague was right :-) [14:32] arunkumar413, thought i dnt know exctly but it seems that youtube dont support. (Please note taht I dont knwo exactlhy) [14:32] I just couldnt believe there isnt such a thing in Ubuntu.... [14:32] IdleOne: this is it http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ direct ppl there [14:32] Danskmand: well.. I just did a brief search of the repository and some googling.. it's possible that there's something out there I missed [14:32] * Dr_Willis has never even seen a .axx file [14:33] meklee: no that is not the correct way. [14:33] meklee: if you enable universe, flash shows up in the Software Center. [14:33] Danskmand: the source code is available on their site so it shouldn't be that hard to create a linux version.. I've never heard of the application myself so I don't know if it's widely used or not [14:34] When will be released KOffice 2.2? [14:34] bullgard_: why don't you check the official webpage? :) [14:34] hi there, I'm looking to be able to restrict a user inside this home directory, I've read about several possible solutions like ibsh but the project seems to be dead, any suggestions about this? [14:34] bullgard_: KOffice 2.2 looks like it is in the lucid-backports repository. [14:34] abhi_nav:sorry to hurt ur sentiment,well but ubuntu has such great people working up ,why can't they design a s/w to clone partions of ubuntu .Again sorry for using win. [14:35] coolstacy: you certainly can clone partitions in Ubuntu. what does that have to do with installing updates, however? [14:35] Pici: Ah! Thank you very much for your help. [14:35] abhi_nav: i know ubuntu people hate the word windows so much. [14:35] coolstacy, no no you ddnt hurt me in any way. its perfectly ok. i just point you back on the main point that we should discuss about ubuntu here [14:35] !info partimage | coolstacy [14:35] coolstacy: partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.8-1 (lucid), package size 276 kB, installed size 968 kB [14:35] coolstacy, if you want to clone I recommend clonezilla, cloned a win7 install with it recently ;) [14:35] bcessa: why are you wanting to do that anyway? theres being secure, then theres 'paranoid' :) Then theres 'Tinfoil Hat paranoid' [14:36] coolstacy, and there is no sorry using win. its ok every company , software has its own pros and cons. its ok :) [14:36] :) I prefer to be paranoid on this one [14:36] Dr_Willis, dont make fun of the tinfoil hat. Not only is it stylish it protects against alien mind control === Luukje|Afk is now known as Luukje|Game [14:36] * MindWorld I invite on my net irc / server 178.63.232.138 6665 [14:36] bcessa: perhaps chroot it something for you.. you will need to give the user read access to your system files though.. or they won't be able to run anything.. or even login [14:36] Rip_Buffgroin: actually it focuses the Beams! you have been tricked! === Rip_Buffgroin is now known as ryyzyy [14:36] :o [14:36] my world [14:37] its shattered [14:37] hello, i try to mount my floppy by typing mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy into the terminal. When i do so i see the floppy for some seconds then it dissapears again. [14:37] I c, I'll look into that, thnx, I was also checking rbash but it becomes pretty much unusable, you can't even cd into any of your directories :/ [14:37] amokpaule: does the floppy drive spin/light up? There Is a disk in the drive? [14:38] amokpaule: « dmesg | tail -n20 » may shed some light on the problem [14:38] can one ask for wine aid here? wine looses sound after a suspend and resume, and im wondering if theres a way to restart the sound drivers without having to restart wine? "wineboot" didnt do it... [14:38] abhi_nav : i am into civil engg,but the ubuntu does not support Auto cad Like big s/w,using wine i heard it crashes ur system. [14:38] coolstacy, yah may be. there are good cad software for linux. [14:38] 'Auto Cad' (the company) dosent support Linux. :) i think is the more correct statement. [14:38] bergLNX: it might be your "real" sound drivers that die.. can you play any sound from native/linux apps after a suspend/resume? [14:39] coolstacy: actually, you can as well say it's AutoCAD that doesn't support Ubuntu. Ubuntu can't just pretend to be Windows (it tries, with WINE, but it's not Windows), so if programs aren't made for Linux, there's not much one can do. [14:39] the light is on and a disk is in. [14:39] Dr_Willis, :) [14:39] bottom lines of that dmesg | tail -n20 command may give a clue as to whats goin gon [14:40] Slart: yeah, and if i restart wine, or rather the program im running through wine, i get the sound back... usually. but my sound card/driver is indeed a little uncooperative here in linux, so might be that the problem lays elsewhere [14:40] Danskmand: by the way.. axcrypt isn't supported on 64bit windows 7 either.. no mac client, no linux client, no 64bit client.. I wouldn't trust these guys with my sensitive data if you look at that track record =) [14:41] Slart: how about for dos! [14:41] bergLNX: wineboot only runs a simulated boot in your little wine windows world.. not really sure what it does but it doesn't fix hardware problems like that [14:41] abhi_nav:what happens using wine is it eats ur RAM so much that its impossible to smoothly work on it. [14:41] btw i gfloppy does also not work, im under lucid. [14:42] Hello, I am running Gnome. Other than Firestarter and gufw, any other firewall clients I might try? [14:42] coolstacy, thats why i leave using wine ;) [14:42] Dr_Willis: nope.. windows 2000 was the earliest, I think.. [14:42] !firewall | AdminX [14:42] AdminX: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [14:43] Slart: yeah i guess... oh well [14:43] hi [14:43] can i use my nokia phone as a speaker (via usb)? [14:43] scar_: you can not [14:44] Dr_Willis: Yes, looking for better frontend [14:44] abhi_nav :i dont want to underestimate ubuntu,its great and rocks.I choose ubuntu because NO VIRUS,FREE ORIGINALLY,S/W FREE,GAMES FREE,APP FREEand not crashes too much. [14:44] i do have ubuntu 10.4 cd and i want to upgrade it how do i do it [14:44] piero: insert the cd.. it should pop up a little dialog box asking you if you want to use it [14:44] piero: upgrade from 9.10 ? [14:44] It says VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev fd0. So i fomrated the disk with mkdosfs /dev/fd0 but i still get the same error that it can't find a valid FAT Filesystem. [14:44] coolstacy, yah ubuntu rocks! (just for your info that this criteria suits for all major linux distro) === gb_ is now known as GaMeBoY [14:45] now that ....i want 2 locate where my downloaded deb files are there on my pc [14:45] amokpaule: whats the -t option you were using? [14:45] its not in /var in lucid [14:45] kickingintender, its somewhere in /archieve [14:45] kickingintender: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [14:45] yah there [14:45] kickingintender: the package manager caches them in /var/cache [14:45] kickingintender: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [14:45] yea upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 [14:46] i think its specifys the file system, i got the command from the ubuntu wiki [14:46] piero: for that you need the alternate cd the desktopcd wont work [14:46] i inserted the cd but nothing happened [14:46] erUSUL: if phone to pc doesn't work i'm sure pc to phone will, just will have to setup streaming software... thanks for the quick answer [14:46] piero: is that the Desktop cd? or the Alternative CD? [14:46] abhi_nav: really it rocks ,but i thing major market occupied by Win(sorry to say the word),when will ubuntu be a common OS to use. [14:47] ok [14:47] i wanted 2 install k3b but i dont have internet [14:47] coolstacy: when people like me stop buying it because of all the sweet games it can run =) [14:47] coolstacy, hmm if now you dont have any ubuntu question then we may continue in #Ubuntu-offtopic. :) [14:47] desktop cd [14:47] scar_: then the question is « i want to play in my phone media streamed from my pc » no « i want to use my phone as a speaker » ; isn't it ? :) [14:47] so i downloaded the packages for it and there dependencies now thats over,i have a problem [14:47] coolstacy: but this isn't really on topic in here [14:47] Slart, :) :D ;) [14:47] kdelibs-bin says its dependent on kdelibs5 and vice versa [14:48] piero: as far as i know you can only 'upgrade' via the Alternative Installer cd. [14:48] what say Dr_Willis [14:48] abhi_nav:from when u are using ubuntu,u might be having similar problen. [14:48] ok [14:48] kickingintender: id plug in a network cable... :) [14:48] coolstacy: Do you have a Ubuntu support question? [14:49] slart:sorry its my first chat. [14:49] no way [14:49] coolstacy: i've been using Linux for years with no problems :) [14:49] coolstacy, no. its perfect. i just do regular college work. and its suits well. i wll be know more when i use it now for my upcomding college projects etc. then i wll have most exact opinion [14:49] i am getting a net connection this week [14:49] we will see [14:49] coolstacy: no worries, this channel is for support questions only.. regular chat is better kept in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:49] should i upgrade to meerkat?? [14:49] kickingintender: no [14:49] no? [14:49] alpha [14:49] kickingintender: NO [14:49] how can i install a programme when all i have is a git-address? [14:50] slart:thxs. [14:50] \quit [14:50] kickingintender: if you have to ask such a questuion.. the answer is no [14:50] kickingintender: it's a bit early for that... if you have to ask you probably don't want it =) [14:50] then what are neccessay stuff to be downloaded [14:50] Slart: s/want/need [14:50] kickingintender: /join #ubuntu+1 for maverick questions [14:51] abhi_nav:i think i myself dissolve the problem,let me use the suggested tools . [14:51] nicofs: you have to clone it and compile it from source [14:51] Beyecixramd: yes, perhaps "need" is better.. =) [14:51] !compile | nicofs [14:51] nicofs: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:51] i installed kchm its not showing in app menu....where is it hiding [14:51] hi [14:51] coolstacy, hmmm good :) [14:51] hi. Is anyone aware of a fix for this bug: When I copy text from the browser ie, and paste it inside emacs... I'm getting chiness symbol [14:51] nicofs: git clone [git-url] [14:51] nicofs: git repositories usually contain source code.. so you need to download the source code and then compile it [14:51] hey guys, I have 2 nic cards in my server, I can ping the internal ip, but not the external ip....what do I need to check? [14:51] kickingintender: i don't know, but you can probably start it by hitting Alt+F2 and then typing "kchm" [14:51] nicofs: install git-core to get git command [14:51] aboudreault: GET VIM... nah, kidding [14:52] chanop [14:52] where is programs installed ....like windows programs folder?? [14:52] skeeter101: both nics are in the same LAN that you are in ? [14:52] sbin or bin? or user>>bin [14:52] kickingintender: if two packages seem to be dependant on each other, try installing everything with dpkg -i *.deb [14:52] kickingintender: Linux is not Windows... they can be everywhere. What do you need that for? [14:52] yup [14:52] kickingintender: programs are installed "scattered" in the system mostly under /usr/ [14:52] kickingintender: most programs are in /usr/bin. you can find out by typing "dpkg -L packagename" anyway. [14:52] kickingintender: they are installed a little all over the place.. you can check in synaptic.. right click on something you've got installed and select properties.. there should be a list of all the files there [14:52] abhi_nav:Thxs for ur co-operation,time running out , i have to go,thxs again. [14:52] erUSUL: one nic is for internal lan ip's, and the second is for external "public"..... [14:52] how can I understand whether my ubuntu is 64or32 bit [14:53] coolstacy, bye :) [14:53] MauL^: what have you installed?

[14:54] yup i have installed before [14:54] Is there a quick fix for why I cannot get apt-get to update in Lucid Server? [14:54] Hello is there a working alternative for gnome-network-manger for handling OpenVPN connection, I still get error with the GUI but it's working fine with the command line ? [14:54] kickingintender: why not? copy and paste, there's nothing that could go wrong [14:54] shucks there is a user with win7 name here [14:54] CodePoint: depends on what kind of error you get [14:54] CodePoint: post the error you get [14:54] !pastebin | CodePoint [14:54] CodePoint: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[14:57] I tried changing the dns to us.archive.ubuntu.com but it makes no difference [14:57] Hi, I've upgraded my system from Karmic to Lucyd using the do-release-upgrade command. Everything worked smoothly until the system restarted itself. After restart, the kernel can no longer see the hard drives... I am able to log onto that machine using the install CD. What could I do to determine source of the problem? [14:58] Im having dramas with splashy, i've just changed the theme... but my boot graphic is still the old one... have checked and checked that i put the new one up... suspend and shutdown ones are fine... is it cached somewhere? [14:58] skeeter101: via a router ? cable modem ? maybe some element is blocking the connections toport 80 [14:58] CodePoint: it seems to work if I go to http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com in firefox.. does that work for you? [14:59] CodePoint: but I get another ip than you do.. [14:59] Slart, that works for me too, it seems to be just apt-get (and aptitude) that won't update [14:59] hey [14:59] erUSUL: is connected through router, and I have four other boxes that I can get to port 80 just fine on......even on this particular box, with 2 nic's, one with a 192 ip, and the other with a static,.....if I type 192.168.x.x I get the contents in /var/www..... [14:59] CodePoint: hmm.. odd.. [15:00] erUSUL: but if I type the static ip, it times out...... [15:00] CodePoint: not really sure if those do things differently compared to a regular browser [15:00] skeeter101: maybe you have to configure the router to redirect connections to the server ? NAT ? [15:00] Slart, I don't see why it would. However it seems odd that I can ping those addresses but apt cannot. === me is now known as Guest49910 === Guest49910 is now known as retroneo [15:01] I'm looking for the pros and cons of installing Ubuntu 64bit in a Parallels VM [15:01] where are the screensaver files located in ubuntu?

[15:02] erUSUL: it just seems to be this one box......"the one I need to wrk too" [15:02] Anyone here got a Lexmark printer / scanner installed on 64-bit Ubuntu? [15:02] erUSUL: any suggestions? [15:03] skeeter101: not really; sorry. not without knwing exactly how that router is confiured or works [15:03] It seems as if the upgrade process did not install some drivers/modules it should have... [15:03] call me an idiot but I've got instructions for installing a bin package, but what about a deb package? Shouldn't that be easier? [15:03] erUSUL: the router is configured with one of my static's for routing reasons..... [15:03] morning! is this the right place for questions about ubuntu?

[15:15] :) [15:15] skeeter100 : to ping public ip from private network you need to NAT private ip to public .. [15:16] skeeter101: check the routes also [15:16] carneiro: the public ip is on the private network..... [15:16] skeeter101: is there any Ip forwarding ?

[15:22] carneiro: on the server in question? or from another? [15:22] Slart: zendframework is a transitional package for libzend-framework-php which is version 1.10.3 [15:22] Danskmand: You can drag the gnome panel to the 2nd monitor if you wanted. Or add a new panel there. [15:22] joschi: it also says in the description that zend-framework is a transient package [15:22] sorry... transitional [15:22] not transcient =) [15:22] Dr_Willis [15:23] Slart: transitional means it will be removed sometime in the near future? [15:23] That is easier than telling ubuntu that the external monitor is the main monitor ? [15:23] Slart: or asked differently: with a custom .deb, should I depend on zend-framework or zendframework? [15:23] joschi: afaik it means that it exists so that older things that rely on it being there doesn't break but it will disappear in the future [15:23] ping [15:23] joschi: go with zendframework [15:23] !ping [15:23] pong [15:23] skeeter101: both ... [15:24] Danskmand: my nvidia setup. the nvidia-config tool has a 'set this as display as primary monitor' then gdm and the panels and stuff defauinted to it,. [15:24] skeeter101: see if the trace is complete .. [15:24] what is this file .bashrc? [15:24] carneiro: ran the traceroute, and it did complete...with just one hop [15:24] Slart: ok, thx [15:24] carneiro: off of two different boxes [15:25] jeus: a script that runs when you login to bash. check its contents [15:26] Dr_Willis, : i use this guide for change shell prompt http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-shell-change-the-color-of-my-shell-prompt-under-linux-or-unix/ [15:26] jeus: so? theres dozens of guides on changing the shell prompt. [15:27] jeus: asnd theres some bash 'theme' tools out to let you build up a prompt [15:27] skeeter101: What is the output of "route -n"? Even if the server's public ip is accessable via the same network segment, you'll still need to specify a (likely static) route to it. [15:27] jeus: theres even a 'bash prompt howto' at tldp.org [15:28] is there any way to manually specify a time offset for system time via terminal? [15:28] Jordan_U: going to place in pastebin ok? [15:28] Dr_Willis, when login to linux run commands in .bashrc [15:28] skeeter101: Yes. [15:29] jeus: theres .profile and .bashrc with a login shell i think it runs the .profile, then the .bashrc [15:29] jeus: when in doubt put some 'echo "This is bashrc"' at the start of the .bashrc and see when it runs [15:29] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m9vYD6AW [15:30] Jordan_U: not sure what that 169 ip is though [15:30] Dr_Willis,is login time when start linux ? or open terminal ? [15:30] jeus: Yes... to all. [15:30] i have a ISP client installed, need to tweek it, any idea? [15:31] jeus: whenever a bash shell is started and they can start from scripts or X or at other times.. it reads those configs [15:31] exit [15:31] Dr_Willis, but when open a new trminal my commands not run [15:31] jeus: people often think theres a 'gui mode' and a 'shell mode' like windows/dos days.. but actually there really is not that big a distinction. :) [15:32] jeus: put a echo command in the .bashrc as a test. and .profile as a test. to see whats getting ran. [15:32] hello , can i ask a question about grub2 : How i can remove Entries From it [15:32] how do i use grub instead of winbootloader?i am new to ubuntu and running 9.10. [15:32] Dr_Willis, TNX [15:32] jeus: also a 'login shell' is different try 'xterm -ls' to see - that Should run both .profile and .bashrc [15:32] hey guys, I got a big problem. Hope some1 can help me. I installed Xampp to my machine and some updates to ubuntu, after I rebooted my computer is stuck in a reboot loop, just comes along the ubuntu load screen and then it reboots :/ [15:33] jeus: .bash_profile is different also.. if that exists then i think the .profile is ignored.. Under ubuntu now. You dont use .bash_profile, you use just .profile (i think) [15:33] Jordan_U: did u get that? [15:33] How i can remove Entries From Grub2 plz [15:34] skeeter101: Yes. [15:34] amine: remove the kernels you do not use [15:34] Dr_Willis, tank U from your Guide . i try it [15:34] Jordan_U: look right? yes? no? [15:34] jeus: the default prompt is set in .bashrc so change it at the end of that file if you want your own [15:35] erUSUL: i have a windows recovery that i do't use [15:35] amine: thats a little harder to change.. [15:36] is there any way for me to list all files that have the same filename (CI-wise) in a folder [15:36] not hard.. but just a little harder. :) [15:36] ubuntu says root is not installed and when I try to install it from bin It says it cannot be found. I get the error "unable to find schema for key daemon default session" on startup [15:36] is there a way I can have windows keep size like the term? [15:36] I have many many files in my linux and need to download to a windows machine that don't support CS (case-sensitive) [15:36] kanzie, add them to tar first [15:36] kanzie: i would put them in an archive first then. [15:36] is there any key-combination that I can use on ubuntu loading screen to start safe mode or something like that? [15:37] Dr_Willis, it work correctly TNX [15:37] Dr_Willis: so how [15:37] Dr_Willis & drizzt_: Well, actually it is through mercurial version control the problem appears, so I have to rename the file dupilicates [15:37] amine: theres some guides on altering those entries. I never bothered with them 0> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17787/clean-up-the-new-ubuntu-grub2-boot-menu/ [15:37] any ideas on how to fix it? [15:37] amine: and the grub2 wiki page and forum threads on the ubuntu forums discuss it also. [15:38] ok thanks [15:38] Jordan_U: nothing to say about it? [15:38] Hi, is there anyone here that can help me with a problem with a problem called NZBget? [15:38] *program [15:38] When trying to connect to one of my work servers, rdesktop attempts to connect and quits with the error, NOT IMPLEMENTED: PDU 12, is anyone familiar with such an error? [15:39] kanzie, relating on case in filenames is very unwise === karthik is now known as Guest34618 [15:39] Also, if anyone knows anything about Par2 files and how I can scan multiple par2 files from command line that would be great :) [15:40] is there a way to fix an existing system via a live-cd? [15:40] are those your files or mercurial metadata? [15:40] mattgyver, what server OS win2003 2008 [15:40] Lord_Rahl, Windows 2008, its killing me :( [15:40] syron, define 'fix' [15:40] carneiro: did u by any chance see the post I made? maybe give me some ideas? [15:40] Lord_Rahl, No one else is experiencing any errors, as well i can connect to two other machines with the same setup [15:40] mattgyver, the Ubutu doesn't support modern RDP protocol [15:40] i'm getting this error frequently when i try to login to the google accounts.http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kb76Mh3H [15:41] you have the security up to high. you to move back to xp -2000 mode [15:41] drizzt_, since I installed some updates, which popped up and after I installed xampp, my ubuntu install is stuck in a reboot loop [15:41] Lord_Rahl, may I PM you? [15:41] skeeter101: Can you pastebin the same from a working machine? (replacing parts of the ip with 'x' make it a bit awkward to try to debug, but I understand if you think you need to do it) [15:41] mattgyver, sure [15:41] Jordan_U: ty, I am glad that u understand === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [15:42] Jordan_U: fyi, the other machines all have only one nic card, this particular box has "2" nic cards..... [15:42] > ubuntu says root is not installed and when I try to install it from bin It says it cannot be found. I get the error "unable to find schema for key daemon default session" on startup. Can anyone help? [15:43] plz help me.i'm getting this error very frequently when i try to login to the google accounts like orkut,gmail, etc,. [15:43] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kb76Mh3H [15:44] Hi, is it better to add aliases under the eth0 using "ip up addr dev eth0" or by adding a seperate eth0:1 entry? [15:44] need to edit a ISP client software, how to proceed ? [15:44] Jordan_U: actually, the information from "route -n" is the same on one of my other boxes as the box in question, there is one difference, and that is the box in question has the "192.168" routing info and the others do not..... [15:44] rabbit11, why? [15:45] drizzt_: i have issues with compatibility with firefox [15:45] arunkumar413, on their forum this is what i got: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=08197160d4c2d28f&hl=en [15:45] Hi All, [15:45] rabbit11, then replace firefox with compatioble browser [15:45] drizzt_: smart suggestion -.- [15:46] I have dell 1640 laptop, suddenly spacebar backspace and enter keys stopped working, does anyone know how to fix it ? [15:46] prem: hammer and nails..... [15:46] drizzt_: i have to run sifyconnect from terminal, after which it gives me a login screen to connect to Internet, after which it says Firefox is running, restart it, later, after 30 mins my connection gets lost, i have to login again. [15:47] skeeter101: funny thanks [15:47] prem: sorry could not resist, u running ubuntu> [15:47] ? [15:47] skeeter101: Can you ping other public ip addresses, like google.com? [15:47] prem: check config in System>Preferences>keyboard [15:47] skeeter101: yes lucid [15:48] skeeter101: I did all magic of changing layout and repeat delay etc [15:48] Jordan_U: from the box in question? of course I can.....no problems [15:48] anyone has the flashplugin .so for 64bit? (the non-nspluginwrapper one) :/ [15:48] prem: what ERUSUL said [15:49] skeeter101: I did all things I could find on net for this problem but the problem persists [15:49] drizzt_: here the problem is , these ISP guys have integrated something to check for the user connection availability to firefox only, and during this process, it will send a info to firefox and if its not running ISP will disconnect, and if firefox is on and running, firefox blocks the message from ISP client. so again, it is disconnected, what ever the case is it will be disconnected, so better way is to edit the ISP client files and make that checking [15:49] prem: it happen after the update/upgrade? [15:49] skeeter101: no, [15:50] skeeter101: Is the server you're trying to access within the 173.164.xx.xxx/29 network? [15:50] skeeter101: all other keys work, I had this problem before, but fiddling around with the keyboard preferences somehow fixed it [15:50] abhi_nav: how to update chrome [15:50] rabbit11, I doubt your ISP gave you permission to do that [15:50] arunkumar413, you can get latest .deb from google web site and install it by double clicking on it [15:51] abhi_nav: its about 17mb [15:51] Jordan_U: is your question relevant to the "29"???? [15:51] Jordan_U: if so, I dont know what that stands for really..... [15:51] abhi_nav: i just want to update so that the bug gets fixed [15:52] arunkumar413, do update from update manager [15:52] rabbit11, and this question should be really addressed to your provider [15:52] skeeter101: It's the network mask, the number of leading bits in the ip address that need to match for the ip to be on the same network. [15:52] Jordan_U: I logged into the modem and it is on a "173.163.xx.xx/29 network [15:52] abhi_nav: that will update the unnecessary stuff also. i want to update only chrome browser [15:53] hi i have a problem with my microphone. its working, i talk to skype and suddenly it stops working and its not muted its not low volume.. when i restart my pc is ok and then again.. [15:53] hdtdi: Skype in Linux works VERY VERY bad [15:54] arunkumar413, go to update manager click on check button then it wll give you the list of all possible updates. deselect all and only select chrome. actually i dont know the command line way . that will be easy. ask somene aboutu it [15:54] hdtdi: i don't recommend you to use Skype until they fix it up [15:54] Jordan_U: is there something about the /29 that I would have to configure somewhere? [15:54] skeeter101: If you know how to work with binary, write out the two ip addresses in binary and make sure that the first 29 bits match (or, to put it another way, that only the last three bits can differ) [15:54] Beyecixramd, skype cause my microphone to stop working? [15:55] hdtdi: maybe. Skype does weird things. For example, only the first videocall works, once you hang up, you will never be able to use your webcam again until you reboot [15:55] aaaaaaaaa [15:55] drizzt_: i even din't give them permission to play with my apps (firefox) [15:55] kaos: aaaaa what [15:55] skeeter101: so did the trace complete ? [15:55] carneiro: yeah an hour ago lol [15:55] rabbit1, then deal with another provider [15:56] drizzt_: yeah, i am already in talks, but i don need the same problems again :) [15:56] drizzt_: why these stupid people will have a client software (un necessary) [15:57] skeeter101: was away from my comp ; problem resolved ?

I got a asked by root password ? [16:00] skeeter101: Do you know how to work with binary? [16:00] How can I reset my root password ? [16:01] I need a shell with root permisions [16:01] yxz97: drop to root shell should give you a ( surprise) root shell with no password asked [16:01] yxz97: use sudo -i [16:01] but ubuntu dropme to a shell but asked me the root password [16:01] Jordan_U: no.....but working on it.....got the static converted to binary....I do the 192 addy the same way? [16:01] NO erUSUL WRONG YOU ARE WRONG ! [16:01] you need setup root password before [16:01] yxz97: boot into single user mode ...

[16:02] actually one [16:02] yxz97: if you select the recovery option in grub it will give you a root shell without any password [16:02] Slart wrong you are wrong, always asked me for the root password [16:02] Or boot from LiveCD [16:02] yxz97: no i'm not worng. but hey you seems to know more than anyone here so you will be able to fix it yourself ( shouting ) [16:02] and mount the drive, then chroot into it and change the password [16:02] yxz97: ok, suit yourself [16:03] yeah [16:03] Debian has root password, why ubuntu doesn't? [16:03] thannks for nothing I think google do best than you [16:03] drizzt_: ubuntu is smarter. [16:03] drizzt_: design decission to use only sudo [16:03] drizzt_: design choice.. sudo can do everything a real root login can do.. and more [16:03] Ubuntu calls it the "Default" password vs. "Root", drizzt_ [16:03] :/ [16:03] Slart: Unless you mess up the sudoers file by mistake ;-P [16:04] pejay: well... that's why you use visudo [16:04] yxz97: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [16:04] skeeter101: The 192 route is fairly simple, any ip starting with 192.168.5. is in that network. You don't really need to go into binary when every octet in the mask is either 255 or 0. [16:04] can I run the python IDLE IDE on ubuntu? [16:04] or does it only run on windows? [16:04] hey guys [16:04] wessel: I think it's included in the regular python package [16:05] wessel: It is multi plattform [16:05] wessel: so, yes.. you can run it on ubuntu [16:05] wessel: Sure. Its in the repositories. [16:05] Jordan_U: thats right..... [16:06] daffel I have a problem I got a Recovery Menu option [16:06] there I choose drop to Root Shell [16:06] but to get the shell asked me for the root password ....again ! [16:06] I don't have it [16:07] yxz97: Please stop pressing enter between every few words, don't use enter as punctuation.

[16:47] amanita > i am out of n00b ideas xD [16:47] amanita: just a question, are you trying vlc after removing each component? or waiting until you have deleted all of it before running? [16:47] mee too =/ [16:47] Dr_Willis: in windows, you can disable this type of "synthetic" delay [16:47] Stephen_: yes, sounds like grub was never properly installed. you have both windows and linux on the same disk? [16:47] thune3 i delet them all, and after this i try again. [16:47] hal: i recall some gnome/metacity setting that disabled all the 'effects' but i cant recall where i even saw that at. it was ages ago. perhaps befor compuiz eas even in use.. and if you are using compiz. it may not even apply any more. [16:48] thune3 i just want to play a wmv video, and the gstreamer isnt working for this with Mplayer, u have any idea of how to lpay a wmv? [16:49] amanita: depends on the codec the wmv is using. Theres some codecs that are not avilable in linux/ubuntu/for mplayer [16:49] amanita: i can play most wmv's fine in vlc,. and smplayer (mplayer) [16:49] I'm having trouble booting 10.04 with a Dell latitude E6410. I've managed to boot the Laptop in question with a "noapic"(or "noacpi"... can't remember exactly which one refer to power management) argument in the kernel. I want to submit a complete bug report. Any pointer on things I should try to find the exact problem (beside an lspci -vvv) ? [16:49] hal: try --> http://www.wains.be/index.php/2006/11/11/disable-gnome-windows-effects/ [16:49] Dr_Willis: there are other aspects of compliz that I like, it's just the animations. For example, I like workspaces, but there again, the transition animation is a little slow [16:49] Dr_Willis i've tried with other players. VLC isn working here. [16:50] hello guys.. [16:50] amanita: run player from command line, look at output.. see what it says about the video. [16:50] Dr_Willis: what will I sacrifice if I enable that? [16:50] hal: with compiz its so tweakable.. i dont even know what all you can disable. i DO know about everything has a timedelay you can set to be very fast. [16:51] Dr_Willis i already did. The VLC is with a strange error. [16:51] hal: no idea. it may not even work with compiz [16:51] Dr_Willis the default player of ubuntu says that is a codec problem [16:51] Dr_Willis and the Mplayer says that cant recognize the video output, and plays only audio. [16:51] Another note: The laptop in question doesn't boot at all if I don't disable power management..

[16:52] Dr_Willis i've play'd at windows just fine. [16:52] amanita: Yes it can matter.. some times wmv videos have 'special' copy protection codecs. [16:52] the acx 111 stuff is supposed to be included in 9.10, and I find the firware for it in /lib/firmware/acx [16:53] but I can't modprobe acx [16:53] ikonia: I named the virtual host with that port, but never told it to listen on that port in the first place in ports.conf :P [16:53] Dr_Willis the video was made at linux.

[17:07] Lalitha, nothing just go ahead ignore msg [17:07] Dr_Willis, ext4.. my / is ext3 [17:07] Jordan_U: let me know if you're too busy to get into this, i appreciate all the time you gave us yesterday [17:07] hotfloppy: .gvfs is the gnome virtual file system, it's for things like remote Shares and Removable drives... [17:07] bastid_raZor, fixed it, lubuntu sets in /etc/cpufreqd.conf the default mode of performance [17:07] ve2dmn, is the usb modem count ? [17:07] Lalitha, follow onscreen instruction [17:07] hotfloppy: so It would be normal for you to not have permission on a remote machine [17:08] off off :(((((( [17:08] off off :(((((( [17:08] off off :(((((( [17:08] apolo777: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I accidently removed the entry :( [17:09] hotfloppy, check if it's not mounted [17:09] amanita: taking 12 min+ to download... [17:09] ve2dmn, i connect to the internet using this Huawei e176 usb modem.. [17:09] hotfloppy: it's probalby not that... [17:09] Lalitha, you want to type in some Indian lang and you want solution for that. right? [17:09] Dr_Willis, so they will not effect my $home usage ? [17:10] What is in that directory? [17:10] Dr_Willis ill be waiting... It would be very nice if i could play this at linux... Makes no sense see a video about linux at windows. [17:10] abhi_nav, No, Wrong. [17:10] Lalitha, then? [17:10] I seem to have acx firmware, but no kernel module [17:10] drizzt_, which partition to check ? /home ? its mounted.. [17:10] abhi_nav, I already found the solution last week. Whenever i click on the scim icon on the tray, it just kills itself and restarts. [17:10] hello everybody [17:10] abhi_nav, and hey, starting ibus has helped it to prevent from killing itself. Thanks. [17:11] Lalitha: it's not actually "killed"... it's probably crashing [17:11] hi lucyd lynx doesn't support multiple windows [17:11] ve2dmn: What is in that directory? <- is that for me ? $home.. err.. my home folder (surpised !! :P ) [17:11] Lalitha, hmm you add ibus to startup aps [17:11] or just hidden somewhere else on the settings [17:11] hotfloppy: can you do a "df -h" in a terminal? [17:11] amanita: it makes no sence for them to be using .wmv and rar's either... === hobodave_ is now known as hobodave [17:12] ve2dmn, even if i "Kill" from system monitor, It restarts ;-) [17:12] hotflppy: seems you have some kind of recursive mount [17:12] Dr_Willis i agree... But its good stuff... What can i do? =/ [17:12] amanita: the only wmv's ive ever had issues playing are either malware-virus laden, or drm'd [17:12] abhi_nav, command to be added in startup applications ? [17:12] Dr_Willis, mikubuntu from yesterday prob with signal no screen .. i just installed 9.10 and it came up fine, but resolution was bad at 800 x 600, so i installed nvidia restricted driver (175 - recommended) but then when i restarted got black screen, not 'no signal' but 'out of range' [17:12] Lalitha, ibus-daemon [17:13] Lalitha: yeah, like I said: something is restarting it because, as a user you probalby have something depending on it.

[17:13] subuntu: dvi or vga connection? use dvi if you can [17:13] Dr_Willis its a good idea [17:13] Lalitha: me == everything :) [17:14] where to start with learning ubuntu? [17:14] ve2dmn, ;-) [17:14] Lalitha, and you know about adding yoru lang ? and how to switch to it? press ctrl + space [17:14] ve2dmn, my df -h -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/453453/ [17:14] amanita: i spent many a day a few weeks back learning ffmpeg and mencoder basics. to learn how to conver tvideo to my Cellphone and portable mp4 player and the wifes portable player. [17:14] boing, http://ubuntu-manual.org/ ?? [17:14] boing, ubuntu is simple and easy just like any other major OS [17:14] Dr_Willis, how do i tell? looks like a 'serial' type pin connecting cord [17:14] abhi_nav, yes yes, i know. or click on the icon and choose the language. [17:15] Dr_Willis: with the two set screws on either side [17:15] abhi_nav, i am going to logout of the session and check. please don't exit the irc channel if you can.

[17:16] subuntu: dvi has a wide flat pin not just little round ones. [17:16] Hi abhi_nav , You Are my angel ;-) [17:16] Lalitha, ;) [17:16] Dr_Willis: then i guess its vga [17:16] Dr_Willis, must be a little it tricky, but u have a good result. [17:16] ve2dmn, yeap, i thought so.. actually, i just want to know what that .gvfs (is it? forgot already) thing is.. [17:16] shouldn' [17:16] abhi_nav, Parcellite and Scim icon on the tray, now, does not quit if i click on. Thanks , very much. [17:16] Dr_Willis i'll code something for convert with right click too... Good idea. [17:17] stercor: launch xclock from the command line with the -geometry option. [17:17] ve2dmn, thanks to you too . [17:17] Lalitha, and make your language 'move up' in list so when you press ctrl + space ibus will directly give you the langu you want to type [17:17] Lalitha, :) [17:17] amanita: nautilus scripts are handy. theres one on gnomelook (i think) called (let me check) === Guest57389 is now known as sloopy [17:17] amanita: called 'avconvert' - but it dosent work for me. [17:18] abhi_nav, As of now, i only have the need of two languages, tamil and telugu. so i can click on the icon .. Thanks for your shortcut of ctrl space [17:18] how do I find out what usb port to mount? [17:18] Dr_Willis Hm... I'll search for something like that. [17:18] less: and the arguments to -geometry option? [17:18] shouldn't I be able to find an acx module in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless ? [17:18] stercor: the coordinates on the screen. [17:18] hotfloppy: you could try "chown -R hotfloppy:hotfloppy !(.gvfs)" [17:18] hey guys; a friend of mine installed ubuntu on his HP laptop(dv6500) and he's having trouble with his touchpad lock. everytime he locks his touchpad and unlocks it, it hangs for a few minutes. anyone else having the same problem? [17:18] is there a problem with cpufreq-selector on lucid? I can't find anything on google, and cpufreq-selector doesn't work at all on my laptop [17:18] abhi_nav, are there tamil fonts in app center ? or any commands to install tamil fonts ?? [17:18] I plugged a usb external hd to my computer and I don't know how to mount it [17:19] any ideas? [17:19] less: I know that the numbers are specific to the screen, but what are the letters for the options? [17:19] Lalitha, look when we press ctrl + space it give us english as default. so for this default 'move up' your required language [17:19] it doesn't auto do it with nthis one. I don't know why [17:19] ociredeF: dmesg | tail [17:19] hotfloppy, run mount | grep '/.gvfs' [17:19] Lalitha, you can install tamil fonts. though i dont know how. you can find it from forum etc [17:19] ociredeF: to see which device you must mount [17:20] Quick tip for everyone , if you want to ps | grep jave, but not show grep itself, do "ps | grep [j]ava" :) [17:20] amanita: the videos in that rar are.. .avi and one had a CRC failure. :) [17:20] drizzt_: gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/hotfloppy/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=hotfloppy) [17:20] drizzt_: thats what i got on mount [17:20] stercor, use xwininfo on the app which you want positioned.. that will give you exact info to be used later [17:20] abhi_nav, Is joining ubuntuforums free of cost ? [17:20] Dr_Willis lol... Its in wmv here. Crazy shit [17:20] Lalitha, OFCOURSE!!! [17:20] amanita: they are .avi and file 13 and 14 played fine. [17:20] jgb: well... but I still don't know [17:20] which one should it be [17:20] Lalitha, this is (linux) world of freedom.

[17:22] Dr_Willis look what i got http://pastebin.com/jmUCZktq [17:22] yet nobody helped me yet :( [17:23] ve2dmn wasup [17:23] Jordan_U: reading the bug report [17:23] ve2dmn, :-| [17:23] amanita: 1 am using the normal vlc. 1.0.6 the video codec is 'tscc' ive Never heard of that one befor [17:23] subuntu: Actually, it looks like the commend from tapio on that bug report may be unrelated to the OP's problem (so the comment about advertising itself as a CRT probably doesn't apply to you) [17:23] need to reboot.. testing either my problem already solve or not.. be back later.. [17:23] ve2dmn: nice one [17:23] hotfloppy, usually .gvfs is mounted, so cannot be chowned/chmoded [17:23] I have a Dell laitutde E6410 laptop that won't boot without turning off power management [17:23] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6xtzdWXC [17:23] I don't know whats my usb hd [17:24] drizzt_: if i already chown'ed it ?

[17:25] Lalitha, hmm [17:25] Dr_Willis im pretty sure that is a vlc issue. And thats what i really want to solve, couse i think vlc would play my .wmv files just fine [17:25] kuttan_: didn't think about that.. thanks [17:26] amanita: totem does not play them properly [17:26] ve2xxx no probs .. hope you get it working .. [17:26] amanita: make a new user.. see if it works for them [17:26] Dr_Willis, no [17:26] Dr_Willis, already did. =/ [17:26] kuttan_: I have to... It's sort of my job... [17:26] amanita: vlc works here, totem - has flashing bars.. lets try.. mplayer [17:26] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6xtzdWXC but I did jgb [17:26] ociredeF: ok so it's /dev/sdb, do sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb and see what partitions you have on it [17:27] Thanks to all for the -geometry option. It's working perfectly, and I learned something. [17:27] does anyone here use tint2? [17:27] ve2xxx... ahhmm interesting [17:27] ociredeF: it's probably just /dev/sdb1 [17:27] Dr_Willis mlpayer gives me this error: error opening/iniatilizing the selected video_out (-vo) device [17:27] stercool: that is kewl. [17:27] subuntu: I don't have time to help further, and I haven't had to manually mess with xorg.conf in ages :) [17:27] s/cool/cor/ [17:27] Dr_willis after mplayer gives me this error, it plays only the audio [17:27] amanita: you ahve to set the defauilt video out first.. it stupidly defaults to some weird thing.. instead of xv [17:27] try -vo xv [17:27] who so ever wrote xwininfo wins .. [17:28] Dr_Willis let me see! [17:28] Jordan_U: ok, thx for your help [17:28] subuntu: ##linux May have some old timers that still remember that ancient black magic :) [17:28] ociredeF: then sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp [17:28] Jordan_U: haha [17:28] Dr_Willis i have to set this at mplayer? [17:28] I normally set it with the gui in gmplayer or smplayer [17:28] how so ever hard I am trying to appreciate work done by empathy developers .. got to go back to pidgin.. [17:29] ociredeF: that will always work, now you can look for a way to fix ubuntu to mount it automatically... maybe you'll have to edit fstab, not sure how it's currently done [17:30] haahaah [17:30] Dr_Willis dude, awesome! [17:30] amanita: mplayer dont like it either.. thast must be some weird codec.. it does some sound, then starts skipping [17:30] amanita: did it finally work? [17:30] Dr_Willis i've just seted to Xv at mplayer [17:30] hey all, i'm trying to connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to my Ubuntu 10.04 system. Keyboard is a Logitech MX5000 and the mouse is the Logitech MX 1000. For a bit, I was prompted to grant/deny access to some random service, but it would just do that whenever I moved the mouse [17:31] does mounting of drives take up system resources? [17:31] Dr_Willis yup! Great! A tiny problem, and so annoying... [17:31] if I use blueman-assistant, then when I try to pair the mouse up... it prompts me to enter the passkey on the mouse... [17:31] Dr_Willis thanks a lot! [17:31] amanita: no idea why vlc dont like it.. weird. [17:31] HI... (sry for off-topic but) Is there someone from NORWAY around? ;-) [17:31] mplayer here dont like it. :) well smplayer [17:31] mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [17:31] jgb [17:31] Dr_Willis vlc isnt running here. [17:31] all the posts about bluetooth that I find on the Ubuntu forums seem to be from around 2007 [17:32] Dr_Willis vlc dont start. Isnt a codec problem, its a vlc issue. [17:32] ociredeF: what do you see when you do sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb ? [17:32] steev: if you just try one or the other - keyboard alone or mouse alone, do either work? [17:32] amanita: check google for info on that codec perhaps. [17:33] jfatal error from hell press any key or world will collide [17:33] Dr_Willis no, no... The VLC isnt working. The program dont start up. [17:33] amanita: ffprobe says the video is ----> Stream #0.0: Video: camtasia, rgb555, 800x600, 15 tbr, 15 tbn, 15 tbc [17:33] amanita: ive never seen a camtasia codec.. may be some screen shot thing [17:33] inx-live: i haven't tried just the keyboard yet - they are currently working fine on the windows machine next to it - and when I plug the dongle into the ubuntu box, I get the polkit prompt to grant/deny - when i hit grant, what i see in the syslog is "HUP or ERR on socket" [17:33] guys.. after finished copy my /home to another partition (to use as new /home), do i need to issue chown right away.. or after rebooting ? [17:33] whats up with ubutnu within the past 24 hours?! im getting error when updating, some compiz feature like a magnifing window would pop up with super m, now a small menu drops down from under the enevlope up top.... gnome DO with super space isnt working as of 10 minutes ago,....it's always something...... [17:34] Dr_Willis no dude, my vlc isnt working, understand? [17:34] amanita: where did you get that? [17:34] I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04, when i get to the partition step, there is no entry in the table and all buttons are disbaled, doing an fdisk /dev/sda (on a console) shows partitions, what is the problem? [17:34] inx-live that what? [17:34] hotfloppy: if you moved it correctly you shouldn't need to chown ... [17:34] ociredeF: it should look like http://pastebin.com/TFK5sLKG , does the disk work on other computers? [17:34] !search home [17:34] Found: disks, separatehome, cvs, aol-#ubuntu-offtopic, teg, trogdor-#ubuntuforums, awn, putty, ssh, gdesklets and 6 more, see http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=home [17:34] !separatehome | hotfloppy [17:34] hotfloppy: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept.

[17:34] jgb: it doesn [17:34] doesn't sorry [17:34] Dr_Willis: Jordan_U is suggesting that i may need to edit an xorg.conf file, is that something you might be able to help with? or anybody? trying to get my friends installation up and running. [17:34] ociredeF: it doesn't work on other computers? [17:35] hotfloppy, gdm will kick you if your home has wrong permissions [17:35] nope, it doesn't [17:35] amanita: im still trying to figure out why you said it was a wmv.. when i got a .avi ..... [17:35] and it was actually my backup disk [17:35] ociredeF: is it a new disk, or do you need to recover data from it? [17:35] amanita: can vlc play ANything else at all? [17:35] so long as you have root password & root access has been enabled by you .. there is no problem [17:35] inx-live: 10.04 [17:35] !noroot | kuttan hotfloppy [17:35] kuttan hotfloppy: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [17:35] if I was able to recover it's contnt, that would make me really happy [17:35] Dr_Willis maybe couse the link i give to u was a diferent source of mine. [17:36] steev: you have fully updated? [17:36] amanita: could be they have differnt links/downloads depending on the browser you are browsing the site with also. [17:36] amanita: you downloaded the thing originally in windows? [17:36] Pici: didnt asked about root password [17:36] I agree , but not harm in informing .. no blasphemy :P [17:36] Dr_Willis yup, couse i'd to search again. No, i downloaded originally at ubuntu. [17:37] inx-live: should be [17:37] Dr_Willis i'd to go to windows for make sure that the video was ok. [17:37] hotfloppy: kuttan suggested it to you, I was just making sure that you both knew that it wasn't supported ;) [17:37] erUSUL: but i just moved my /home just now and i got an error and my /home/hotfloppy got owned by root.. [17:37] amanita: well that rar did have a bad file in it.. so its hard to tell whats going on. at least now you can watch that Exciteing video about the linux kernel. [17:37] Pici: yeah.. thanks ;) [17:37] * Dr_Willis hands amanita some no-doze [17:37] steev: did you say this was a laptop? if so, does it have bluetooth builtin? [17:38] hahaha [17:38] oh yeah [17:38] ociredeF: first things first, how big is the disk? do you have space to copy the whole thing to? [17:38] ociredeF: and please prefix your questions with my nick, so I can spot it easily [17:38] hotfloppy: then you need the chown ... ( note i said *if* you moved it correctly ) [17:38] erUSUL: i followed the instruction on psychocat strictly.. [17:38] Dr_Willis but i dont have problem to run the files, my problem with vlc is other issue... The VLC dont start, isnt running. [17:38] hotfloppy: boot into recovery mode to do the chown [17:38] amanita: even just by itself it dont run eh? not trying to play a file [17:38] Dr_Willis: a question that just occured to me ... is it possible to use a livecd to edit and work on an underlying installed os? [17:38] jgb: it's not that big, it's 20 GB or something, and I am not interested in the whole content [17:39] Dr_Willis i think i cant make myself clear... The software VLC isnt starting the interface. [17:39] subuntu: of course. [17:39] Dr_Willis not even by itself. [17:39] erUSUL: already done the chown part just now.. in normal boot mode.. [17:39] amanita: that is weird then.. You havent been upgrading any thing from unofficial sites have you? [17:39] amanita: did you download VLC from repos? [17:39] hotfloppy: ok, good luck [17:39] No hard feelings .. :P [17:39] Dr_Willis no, i've downloaded from ubuntu sources... When i start it from the terminal i got this: http://pastebin.com/jmUCZktq [17:40] inx-live yup, from the official repositories... [17:40] inx-live: no, it is a desktop system, using the logitech Bluetooth 2.0 EDR dongle (came with the set) [17:40] erUSUL: i just want to know when you we do the chown.. straight away after moving /home or after rebooting ? [17:40] inx-live and then i got this http://pastebin.com/jmUCZktq [17:40] ociredeF: the proper way to do it is to dd the whole image to another disk and work on that. if it isn't that important, you can just run your recovery software directly on the disk. YMMV. you can try foremost first. it's in the repo's [17:40] hotfloppy: it should not matter [17:40] hotfloppy: Just take a backup of your home dir .. [17:40] !undelete [17:40] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [17:41] Dr_Willis: is that an option for this particular monitor problem? cause as it is i have no monitor. [17:41] ociredeF: you can try testdisk or photorec.. nice tools [17:41] steev: in a terminal what do you see with "lsusb" [17:41] subuntu: if a live cd works.. you can chroot into an installed system and do things with it. depending on the problems. [17:41] jgb sorry, I am not following you... do i need to download something? [17:41] ociredeF: no [17:42] ociredeF: sudo apt-get install foremost [17:42] Bed time for me. Night all. [17:42] ociredeF: what type of files do you want to recover? [17:42] Dr_Willis: yes the livecd workd on this, i used it to install .. din't have the prob till i installed the nvidea proprietary drivers [17:42] amanita: I would uninstall VLC and grap it from the videolan website [17:42] jgb: mostly music, videos and some bookmarks and stuff [17:43] erUSUL, kuttan : thanks..

[17:45] where are login screen themes and other themes stored in Ubuntu? I am just wondering because as I download new ones I would like to keep them all in one place. [17:46] dd: opening `/dev/sdb': No such file or directory [17:46] anyone have an idea? [17:46] I have a quick question. Whenever I plug my netbook in (Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) the screen goes black and I have to press a button or move my mouse for it to come back and from there it requires me to log back in. Any idea how to disable this? [17:46] inx-live: i'm giving up for now - i got it seemingly working - the keyboard itself says connected on the lcd, but as soon as the assistant closes, the keyboard doesn't work anymore - and rather than throw the keyboard out the window, ill just keep using it on my windows box [17:46] joshua_roberts: check on /usr/share/theme .. i think they should be in there.. [17:46] what package do i need for doing network shares? [17:47] Wavesonics : samba server [17:47] jgb: dd: opening `/dev/sdb': No such file or directory [17:47] ociredeF: you sound kinda screwed... take the disk out and put it back in, and see what dmesg | tail says... then try dd again.

[17:48] anyone have a problem with Flash where it stops playing/functioning (blanks out) and requires a page refresh to get back? [17:48] Can someone help I hope? I have an Epson Workforce 600 printer that I just bought. I set it up to work via WiFi. The printer works great, but I can't get it to scan. I've been going crazy for 2 days now reading every post on the Internet. I got it to start scanning but it jams in the middle of the scan. [17:48] om26er, yes how you know? [17:49] m_v: try removing gnash [17:49] m_v: install flash using synaptic [17:49] frankk: Jamming? Did you try scanning from a windows or mac machine to make sure it wasn't the scanner?

[17:54] JyZyXEL: yes you can use LVM with LUKS to encrypt your hdd [17:54] abhi_nav, or we could try to get it fixed in Lucid too. [17:54] SpyderBite: I didn't try on a windows machine [17:54] any1 know how to use chroot with internet access...

[17:54] im now that the preparing partitions stage???! [17:54] om26er, ok [17:54] thats cool you guys hide chanserv [17:55] carneiro: looks like gnash isn't installed out of the box, do you recommend just uninstalling and reinstalling flash through synaptic? last install was via apt-get [17:55] JyZyXEL: I am not sure if the standard installation is giving you that option [17:55] so... jgb... is there a way to save my soul? [17:55] m [17:55] shoopdawoop: ok so which installation gives that then? === Yoshi9143 is now known as Rishi [17:55] m_v: yes i did that on 10.04 ... it worked ... === Rishi is now known as Guest98733 [17:56] JyZyXEL: the alternate install CD and the netboot install do [17:56] hi bazhang [17:56] JyZyXEL: I just googled and found this http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/cryptolvm.html [17:56] i need to download a whole new installation CD for that? u_u [17:56] Hey, I've VirtualBox OSE 3.1.6 installed here.

[17:58] om26er, I really appreciate your work. I am now using pidgin. please drop me a memoser when this fix get officialy fixed in empathy. Please Please dont get me wrong. I hope you understand. :) [17:58] how can i install grub to mbr? (10.04 , after install) [17:58] memoserve* [17:58] does wine have irc channel? [17:58] JyZyXEL: no, they're not.. [17:58] are you serious [17:58] drizzt_, #winehq [17:58] SpyderBite: I read online where people were having the same problem. Most of the posts I read were from 2008, and they were running 8.04 [17:58] how do i apt-get the alternate installer then [17:59] JyZyXEL: you have to download alternate cd iso from ubuntu site.. [17:59] JyZyXEL: ehm... you don't? o_O to get the alternate installer, you download the alternate CD. [17:59] which package provides keyboard switcher in notification area?? [17:59] no im not doing that since i already have a standard ubuntu installer cd all booted up and ready [17:59] abhi_nav, sure :) [17:59] JyZyXEL: then why do you want the alternate installer? [17:59] om26er, ohh. Thanks friend!! :) [17:59] cause i wanna do encrypted installation [18:00] apparrently the desktop installer doesn't do that [18:00] Hey room--is it possible to install only the default network manager off a boot disc? or am I looking at a full reinstall? please don't ask what happened to my network manager :P [18:00] frankk: the only reason I asked is cause if the scanner is physically jamming then that sounds more like a hardware vs. software problem. Only way to verify is to try scanning on another machine and try to duplicate the problem. If it works.. then you're right.. its an OS issue. If not, you saved yourself more time troubleshooting in the wrong place. [18:00] skeeter101: problem resolved ? [18:00] JyZyXEL: the doc says: Ubuntu 9.04 extended the Encrypted Private directory technology to actually cover the entire home directory. Ubuntu 9.04 users should add the boot option "user-setup/encrypt-home=true" to the kernel boot parameters when installing from the Desktop CD. If installing from the Alternate or Server CD, the option will always appear. The user will be asked if they want to encrypt their home directory. [18:01] JyZyXEL: well you could do it with the standard live CD. but it's not an option you can just click on, instead you would have to do it manually. so if you can not do it manually, get the alternate install cd === Guest98733 is now known as Rishi9143 [18:01] no i wanna encrypt the whole OS [18:01] shoopdawoop: yes i wanna do it manually [18:02] hey guys, I got a prob [18:02] JyZyXEL: then google it, there's a lot of info [18:02] I got a usb hard drive that computers won't even recognize [18:02] it's screwed... computers won't even recignize it... is there a way to format it and make it usable again? [18:02] google what [18:02] how am i supposed to google how to start alternate install from desktop ubuntu cd [18:02] ociredeF: is it hardware issue ? [18:03] JyZyXEL: try downloading the alternate cd from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [18:03] JyZyXEL: he's not telling you to google how to start the alternate installer from the desktop cd, because that is *not possible*. he's telling you to google how to encrypt your filesystem manually. the first result of that googling will likely be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto [18:03] ociredeF, does it show up if you do a 'lsusb' in the term [18:03] help please--is it possible to reinstall only certain programs off a boot disc? [18:03] !google | shoopdawoop [18:03] shoopdawoop: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [18:03] I have a question about Skype recognizing my headset on Lucid, has anyone encountered this? [18:03] how can I launch a command as a user that doesn't have a valid shell (the way daemons are sometimes launched) [18:03] JyZyXEL: forgive me if i'm giving the wrong address.. i just order the cd due to limited bandwidth usage.. [18:03] chris8, dpkg -i ? [18:04] LjL: its gonna be pretty darn hard after the installation [18:04] There is a daemon that is doing stuff on my server, and I just want to test it out [18:04] Do anyone know how I get Elementary Theme?

[18:06] Guzu: actually i never removed the default network manager, but when i removed Wicd i seem to have no network manager running...

[18:27] gui1 there's a tab for input with a volume meter so you can check you've selected the correct input [18:27] did usermod -a -G www-data blade [18:27] hello all [18:27] hey answer me plz if someone has same problem in 10.04? [18:27] does anyone know how to change the keyboard, so when i hit the 0 key on the numpad it doesn't go to insert? [18:28] uh [18:28] novastar- try num luck [18:28] turn your numlock on [18:28] system -> preferences -> keyboard [18:28] can anyone tell me how can i resolve the issue.. i have already install gsynaptic but it is no help [18:28] ? [18:28] solar_george, thanks alot!! [18:29] abhi, might be set to scroll on right side of mouse pad. [18:29] gui1 np [18:29] gnome: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed waf??? [18:29] kuttan: I don't know, have you asked the channel? Maybe someone else knows. [18:29] well I tried hostname oldhostname and then chrooted, but I'm getting the same error :/ [18:29] I did .. [18:30] kuttan: Well, as much as I'd like to know everything, I don't. Sorry. [18:30] sn1988 you did remmeber to change oldhostname for the actuall hostname of your old system? [18:30] yep [18:30] sn1988 maybe re-run the comand in chroot [18:30] durt: i did not get u... can u please explain it bit more [18:31] np , not everything but its ok === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC [18:32] t [18:32] hello too much problem...how can i solve this problem if the Documentation is not totally complete information [18:32] well I had ubuntu as hostname in my hosts file behind 127.0.1.1, isn't that the hostname I've to enter before chrooting? [18:33] Does anyobe know where I can see what google chrome themes I've got installed? [18:33] Question, I have installed pulseaudio device chooser started Skype and I still do not have a choice in pulseaudio or skype to use my headset for my default device, any ideas? [18:33] sn1988 what was the hostname of the existing system [18:33] for Skype that is [18:33] what is the best theme engine for gnome in Ubuntu? [18:34] joshua_roberts: depends on what you need in terms of effects & flash-e-ness [18:34] u mean the one I'm actually trying to fix? The hosts file tells me, ubuntu [18:34] hi [18:34] joshua_roberts: murrine i would say is good, but y'know 1 day you might find a theme that needs rezlooks hence you switch [18:34] sn1988 are you sure? normally the installer sets it to something like user-desktop [18:35] minimal effects, I have a really old video card that has no proprietary driver support, I just want to easily change login themes, desktop themes [18:35] yes I'm sure, but lemme check it one more time [18:35] !details | ronaldo__ [18:35] ronaldo__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:35] I am using a dell c640 with a radeon mobility 7500 (ATI does not support this card in linux) so I have basic rendering support. [18:36] BlaDe, did you restart apache [18:36] joshua_roberts: what clock speed cpu and what ram? [18:36] BusterBFMC set skype use pulseaudio then use sound preferences to set the headset to be the input device for pulse [18:36] 1gig ram 2Ghz P4 I believe [18:36] nope Lord_Rahl I can't do that either [18:37] /etc/init.d/apache2: line 105: kill: (10902) - Operation not permitted ...fail! [18:37] then it gives the same error as before [18:37] solar_george I checked again and the hosts file says: 127.0.1.1 ubuntu [18:37] BlaDe, sudo /etc/init.d/apache [18:37] yes I have done that the mic works great, but my head set speaker will not work just system speakers [18:38] BlaDe, sorry out sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart [18:38] joshua_roberts: thats pretty good, but if you want lighter just use whatever gtk theme you like, but if you want to 'squeeze' every bit of juice look into alternatives to gnome and compiz, something like openbox with tint2 to replace gnome + gnome panel [18:38] now it can't bind to 80 [18:38] I get this error, how do I Fix? VirtualHost test1.ny:0 overlaps with VirtualHost test2.ny:0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive [18:38] aha now it can [18:39] BusterBFMC select to headset in the output tab of the preferences then [18:39] gg [18:39] I don't want to squeeze. I need my extra squeeze for blender and gimp, not pretty menus [18:39] sn1988 hmm, is that exactly the same in both hosts files [18:39] so I guess I will try murrine... [18:40] Lord_Rahl, the directory permissions are 750 how can I find out which group owns it ? because I probably shouldn't chmod all to 755 [18:40] aeon-ltd thanks [18:40] ls -la [18:40] Does anyone know where I can see what google chrome themes I've got installed? It doesn't seem to have a theme page like firefox.. [18:40] and i can't sftp in otherwise, quick phone call bac in a sec [18:40] joshua_roberts: i would still reccomend changing gnome and compiz (including all gnome heavy apps) and switching to lighter alternatives lets say gnome + compiz takes 300mb ram from boot, when i switched to openbox (plus no other gnome dependant apps) boot up was <80mb 220 mb saving is what you need not a lighter gtk theme [18:41] im having trouble with creating a key gen, i keep getitng no gpg-agent running in this session. anyone have an idea on how to fix it? [18:41] solar_george I get no choice in the drop menu from skype / when I run Skype it does not show in pulse as an application running [18:41] solar_george I'll check, gimme 1 moment [18:41] openbox.. ok [18:41] BusterBFMC what skype version? [18:41] I will check and see.. [18:41] thanks [18:41] solar_george one sec [18:41] joshua_roberts: hope it helps. :) [18:42] It probably will. I have tried fluxbox, but that is too light weight for me... [18:42] solar_george 2.1.0.81 [18:43] joshua_roberts: the *boxes can look really good though, much better than gnome+metacity/compiz can [18:43] IMO. [18:43] BusterBFMC thats odd, same as me [18:43] I've followed several guides to setting up chroot/jail/sftp only, but users are not being restricted to their home directories. I want to only allow them to browse their own /homes, and be able to modify files inside of there but nothing outside of /home/user. Root or www-data would need write access, and optionally, it would be sftp-only for the users. Would anyone have a suggestion? I've tried: openssh directive, MySecureShell, [18:43] *scratching head* [18:44] solar_george I am puzzled [18:44] BusterBFMC me too [18:44] Hello. Any way to recover an overwritten text-file? It was 11 GB and was overwritten by a 10 kb one, so the data should be pretty intact. [18:45] pmow > you mean scponly, correct? [18:45] how do i fix if vlc crashes? [18:45] kesroesweyth: yes, I've tried that too [18:45] BusterBFMC lets just check this again, in skype under Options>SoundDevices you have no option for pulseaudio in the microphone and speakers dropdowns? [18:45] pmow > ive done it successfully for sftp users using scponly [18:46] torstein, see photorec. also check hiren's cd [18:46] kesroesweyth: scponly as shell? [18:46] newbie here [18:46] pmow > i am not sure what you're asking [18:46] kesroesweyth: I've done that, however it did not restrict their whereabouts [18:46] !hi > technobowl [18:46] technobowl, please see my private message [18:46] can anyone help me with LAMPP etc/host domain edit [18:46] !ask > technobowl [18:46] torstein, if possible, make a backup before pl;aying with various tools [18:47] bye [18:47] I'm trying to get my blog site online about 95% completed [18:47] solar_george just pulse audio yes I do but when I go to options on Pulse I have applications currently playing === Sup|Away is now known as SuP|Lobby [18:47] !details > technobowl [18:47] technobowl, please see my private message [18:47] kesroesweyth: restricting users to SCP only is fine, but I need them to not be able to list /home, or at the very least /home/otheruser [18:47] solar_george an I missing a step?

[18:48] hmm [18:48] BusterBFMC i think skype only opens sound devices when its playing sounds [18:48] pmow > scponly comes with a script to create new chrooted (jailed) users. after running it, the new users will only have ftp access to the path you specify [18:49] solar_george my sound preferences in pulse will not pick up skype [18:49] ubottu: there is no Arabic channel ? :D [18:49] pmow > been a while now but i believe the script was setup_chroot.sh. are you running this script or using another method?

I've learned that I need to use GPT (gdisk) to do this, but gdisk can only seem to find the first 10.9 terabytes of blocks. Any suggestions? [18:51] once you install them there seems to be no way to find them [18:51] pmow > so make the script executable and run it if you havent already [18:51] Anybody know how I can setup a PAN network interface connection on ubuntu 10.04 LTS to my mobile phone? [18:52] Hey all. Newbe question. i'm in Software manager in Mint 9 Isadora. All my lists stop around "g" thru "J". Am I missing something? [18:52] eblume: gparted or parted support gpt partition tables [18:52] pmow > the page you linked me to seems relevant, very similar to what i ended up doing for my own setup [18:52] !mint > bluefunk523 [18:52] bluefunk523, please see my private message [18:52] dries_: Chrome themes aren't really 'installed', they are activated.

[18:53] pmow > what time of users are you creating? my purpose was to keep sftp users from accessing the rest of the filesystem [18:53] BlaDe, yep [18:53] kesroesweyth: exactly - I just want them to download files I dump in their paths [18:53] erUSUL: Yes, they same problem persists there. Curiously, gparted and parted both report the correct volume size (23 TB), but upon creating the full disk volume it immediatly shrinks to 10.9 TB, and further formatting gives an error "Cannot satisfy constraints" [18:53] kesroesweyth: however following this example I can still browse /hoime [18:53] drwxr-x--- 4 spooshi www-data 4096 2010-05-30 22:28 www...... [18:53] i added myself to the www-data group, and i still get permission denied [18:53] how to open files with the same session (windows) of vlc ? (i mean when i open mp3 it is opening with new windows) [18:53] eblume: what filesystem are you formatting into ? [18:53] hello [18:53] pmow > via sftp? [18:53] kesroesweyth: yep =/ [18:54] solar_george skype showed up in my applications but no options either on skype or pulse to set a default [18:54] pmow > fail [18:54] linux_p: use vlc's playlist manager ? [18:54] kesroesweyth: how does openssh know to run the chroot [18:54] erUSUL: I would like to use LVM (8e00) but this issue occurs with *any* fs [18:54] linux_p: there is an vlc setting... something like "use only one instance" [18:54] french!

[18:54] Any ideas on how I can create a network connection over Bluetooth to my mobile phone? [18:54] erUSUL Slart i can not where is the option. :( [18:54] pmow > that is beyond me unfortunately [18:55] BusterBFMC Ah yes, the sound preferences panel only lets you set global sound settings [18:55] kesroesweyth: I don't suppose you still have access to the box you set this up on? Perhaps my config is screwed or perms are not set to what they need to be [18:55] solar_george all I have in skype in the drop down for speakers is pulse audio (local) [18:55] linux_p: in tools, preferences, interface. "Allow only one instance" [18:55] I would like to create a connection to the internet over Bluetooth to my mobile. I managed to do it once before on koala but cannot find how to do it with lucid? [18:55] what would be the proper use of "sort" command? I want to sort a file with lines starting with dates formatted like "dd/mm/aaaa [18:55] linux_p: crtl + l [18:55] how to change geany default compilers? can't find it in google though [18:56] pmow > i may be able to finaggle some sort of access to the box [18:56] Are there any programs to upscale videos to hd? [18:56] kesroesweyth: that would be awesome...I'm still working on it, but the instructions aren't quite clear beyond the steps I've already taken [18:56] chatrulette XD [18:56] BusterBFMC yeah I mean that the sound preferences panel can change settings for all apps (inc; skype) but not only one, I'm trying to remember the name on the more finegrained control app [18:56] BlaDe: The permissions listed there (rwxr-x---) do not allow people in the same group to write to that path. [18:57] pero que chingados [18:57] Slart thank you it worked :D, [18:57] Can anybody assist me in creating an internet connection via Bluetooth to my mobile phone? [18:57] linux_p: you're welcome [18:58] Hello could someone help me take a look at my dovecot/postfix problem? [18:58] solar_george I was thinking It was right in front of me and I was not seeing it / like my car keys :) [18:58] I keep getting postfix/smtpd[3140]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused [18:58] Jun 22 10:50:28 sol postfix/smtpd[3140]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms [18:58] Pici, I see, what would you recommend as a solution? [18:58] dasunsrule32: check firewall [18:58] <_KAMI_> Hi! I have a laptop with slow startup time. Can someone help to optimize the boot performance. I created a bootchart. [18:58] aeon-ltd: it's not my firewall [18:58] _KAMI_: lets see [18:58] dasunsrule32: maybe #ubuntu-server is the better place [18:58] I have 587 forwarded [18:59] dasunsrule32: do you use iptables? [18:59] guntbert: no one is there [18:59] aeon-ltd: no [18:59] BusterBFMC try running from the terminal; pavucontrol [18:59] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: then uploading it [18:59] dasunsrule32: do you have any setting that might drop packets? [18:59] hey guys last week I disabled Nautilus from managing my desktop so that I could use Nitrogen, however I would like to revert due to Nautilus not seeing my mouse clicks, I forgot where this was though [18:59] aeon-ltd: no [18:59] BlaDe: sudo chmod g+w /var/www/ , that will allow people in the www-data group to write to that path. [18:59] i cannot even click my menu to determine where it was which is very odd [19:00] someone who can tell me? [19:00] jcrawford: check preferences if not use gconf [19:00] solar_george wow! [19:00] aeon-ltd: my server was working fine until the update last week, incoming works fine, outgoing also using my webmail, but not with a client to send outgoing on the submission port [19:00] hey, im thinking of setting up a wireless hotspot for a pub... I need to know what I require... and how to go about it... nothing too fancy, i already have a radius server working [19:00] how would i do it in gconf?

[19:01] Hi [19:01] strange i cannot click anything with my mouse and alt-tab is not working lol [19:01] grrr [19:01] abuayyoub: I believe that devede makes that quite easy.

[19:01] BlaDe: You may need to relogin if you've modified your user's groups while you were logged in. [19:02] has anyone copied their ubuntu installation onto an external hard drive? [19:02] hello there [19:03] eliotn: its possible, yeah [19:03] still the same [19:03] eliotn, most I have done is backed up the home directory [19:03] eliotn: i haev [19:03] have* [19:03] aeon-ltd: http://pastebin.com/YEjpp6cV [19:03] drwxrwx--- 6 spooshi www-data 4096 2010-02-03 20:06 www <- is that okay ? and it's set to 750 [19:03] how do i turn off that annoying feature that when my monitor shuts off i got to put my password in [19:04] solar_george you are a great help that was it!! many thanks :) [19:04] My laptop had its motherboard recently changed and eversince that happened, I am unable to use the Fn keys, such as setting brightness, volume, enabling/disabling wireless, etc [19:04] aeon-ltd: this is my config: http://pastebin.com/pdv87yt6 [19:04] There's nothing wrong with the hardware, I used a live cd and everything worked ok [19:04] Taev, in the screen saver settings System>Preferences>ScreenSavers IIRC [19:04] Is there some way to "reset" kbd ?

[19:09] http://pastebin.org/351436 is my /etc/network/interfaces [19:09] !doesn't work | Mustain [19:09] Mustain: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [19:09] Hi, can someone please help me with a problem I am having with a program called NZBget? [19:09] Jordan_U: uhmm he already told us [19:10] aeon-ltd: http://pastebin.com/SkBsC18a [19:10] Mustain: Sorry, ignore that. [19:10] I ran dd last night to backup my computer to my removable, but decided otherwise and cancelled it. Now I can't get the drive to appear ANYWHERE. Help!? It was mounted last night after the dd cancel and it still seemed to work. I have important data on here [19:10] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: http://ftp.devall.hu/kami/bootchart/AgentM-lucid-20100622-7.png [19:11] Jon--: what dd command did you run ? [19:11] Mustain: right so is that a really new card or not? [19:11] i try the iso imagem on virtual machine it works fine but on the laptop when it supposed to run the screen just stays black and nothing [19:11] <_KAMI_> This is my current bootchart [19:11] good night Friends === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB [19:11] sebsebseb: Odd, /lastlog didn't show him explaining what was going wrong. Thanks for catching it. [19:11] <_KAMI_> I had nearly duble time because it started mysql server every time [19:11] Mustain: a virtual machine inside Windows? [19:11] :) [19:11] ne video car isent that recent [19:11] Jordan_U: Ubuntu won't work, Wubi, Live CD, or pen drive [19:11] <_KAMI_> the intresting thing I have disabled from rc(all) the mysqld [19:12] <_KAMI_> but it started [19:12] erUSUL dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/usbmounthere/backup.img [19:12] Mustain: Good idea to check your ISO before using, to make sure its a good download, but that probably isn't it [19:12] <_KAMI_> then I temporaly removed fully [19:12] !enter | _KAMI_ [19:12] _KAMI_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:12] Jon--: do « tailf /var/log/messages » on a terminal. then plug the disk. show us what appears [19:12] !paste | Jon-- [19:12] Jon--: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [19:13] Jon--, so it's not dd's fault. check if the device is available in fdisk -l [19:13] <_KAMI_> sorry guntbert [19:13] Mustain: People tend to get issues withe lap tops, because they are doing Ubuntu on hardware that isn't standard when it comes to Linux distros. However even so, I guess a bit more then just sometimes, other distros work better, when not working well on a lap top with Ubuntu. [19:13] NZBget anyone use it before? [19:13] Mustain: however 4GB RAM isn't a problem, thats pretty standard [19:13] erUSUL: Nothing new appeared. [19:13] aeon-ltd: got that last error solved, renamed the conf file it was looking for [19:13] Jon--, follow erUSUL , please [19:13] can receive now [19:13] _KAMI_: no reason for sorry: only its much harder to see what you acually need :-) [19:13] anyone know how to setup rsyslog for a seperate iptables log?

[19:14] w8 ill link the lapto specs [19:14] can someone help me with a problem I am having with Par2? I have a folder that has something like 60 files and 60 par2 files, is there a way using par2 that I can queue them so they go one by one? or beter yet queue the entire folder? I am doing them one by one now or using pypar with 30 open instances at a time which is killer on the CPU [19:14] <_KAMI_> I need a boottime finetune because my laptop started over 120sec now it is 60 sec but I am sure we can reduce the time. The bootchart was posted before. [19:15] Mustain: like I said standard hardware, so if its a gaming machine, well thats not really standard hardware [19:15] Mustain have you tried booting in safe graphics mode [19:15] * guzu thinks about text mode, alternate, etc [19:15] http://forum.zwame.pt/showthread.php?t=304222 [19:16] the 1º thread [19:16] NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS [19:16] * Intel Dual Core T2390 (1.86GHz) [19:16] * SiS© 671DX + SiS968 [19:17] Mustain: Do you see anything between the BIOS screen and the black screen? Can you boot from other CDs? [19:17] yup [19:17] the selecting screen [19:17] Mustain: SIS? [19:17] hrm [19:17] Am I really the only person on IRC that uses usenet? [19:17] Mustain: whats SIS being used for? [19:17] i select try ubuntu and then nothing [19:17] SiS chipset, i had a lot of problems with it, never worked right [19:17] Mustain: there was someone before, who had right problems when it came to Ubuntu and SIS, well that was his graphics card I think [19:17] erUSUL: *facepalms* [19:17] erUSUL: I had two usb chords with the same end.. guess which one I plugged in? [19:18] Jon--: o.0! [19:18] They're tangled together, followed the chord wrong =/ [19:18] Oer: yeah as far as I know SIS don't do Linux support, and that there isn't really anything reverse enginered for support either [19:18] Mustain: Press F6 at that menu and choose the "nomodeset" option. [19:18] sweet [19:18] w8 ill try it now [19:19] Jon--: so everything is ok... [19:19] erUSUL: Checking now [19:19] Oer: SiS cards are propably the worst WRT linux support. [19:19] erUSUL: How long does a fdisk -v take? [19:19] Mustain: ^ [19:19] Mustain: SIS is bad when it comes to Linux, this could be your problem [19:20] Jon--: sudo fdisk -l you mean ? [19:20] yes sebsebseb & Jordan_U , i found it out the hard way [19:20] re [19:20] erUSUL: What is the command to check the consistency of a disk, for errors, we? [19:20] Jon , what is your OS? [19:20] Jon--: use gparted to check the partitions filesystems [19:21] Krow_: Ubuntu 10.04 [19:21] it work like the 9.10? [19:21] Hi all - I'm trying to work out how to tell grub to boot to the commandline and NOT start up gdm [19:21] ... Strange. [19:21] GParted says it cannot read contents but it mounts fine [19:21] can anyone point me in the right direction with forcing a non-GUI startup from grub? [19:21] Jon-- fsck [19:22] pakair: It's just a FAT drive. Isn't fsck for nix filesystems? [19:22] Jon-- fsck.vfat [19:22] Oer: So did I when I tried to help someone with a SIS graphics card, to get that working in Ubuntu, and the guy wasn't that nice either. [19:22] is there any tip to compile glibc in an x86_64 machine, using arm-elf- as target, because of the problems related with _FORTIFY_SOURCE ? [19:23] solar_george: ty. I'm only 6 months into nix, still very used to command.exe ;) [19:23] hey how can i exclude a folder from rsync? [19:23] anyone, how do I change my permission from -rw-rw-rw- -> srw-rw-rw-? [19:23] Oer: In fact that guy was basically a right idiot. [19:23] Jon-- IIRC plain fsck will select the correct program to use [19:23] grsync I mean [19:23] Oer: as well [19:23] jon__: man fsck.vfat [19:23] martez89: rsync man page has the correct option. iirc is --exclude=folder/ but check anyway [19:24] Hey. I am inserting a dvb-t usb device, but nothing happens. It should be supported by linux. I do see "new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7" and "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" in dmesg; but nothing more. Any ideas? [19:24] martez89: add that in advanced options ? [19:24] erUSUL, what is the exact command to exclude the video folder in home? [19:25] solar_george: It's asking me stuff. Ahh. ;) "There are differences between boot sector and its backup." [19:25] solar_george: It's only a dumb FAT data partition. The boot sector shouldn't matter [19:26] Jon-- are you booting off that drive for anything? [19:26] solar_george: Nope ^ [19:26] how to set my default Chat from empathy to pidgin? === AK|out is now known as Andorin [19:26] Jon-- yeah so as you thought it shouldn't matter [19:26] abhi_nav: system > preferences > preffered applications [19:26] I've tried setting i915.blacklist=true xforcevesa in my grub config and I still can't get this Dell Latitude D400 to boot into a graphical environment. [19:26] solar_george: I copied original to backup [19:27] sebsebseb, chat option is not there [19:27] also, can't switch VTs by using Crtl-Alt-Fx [19:27] abhi_nav: if you mean in the indicator applet, you can't, it is hard-coded to call empathy "Chat", you can remove empathy to get rid of that menu item though [19:27] anyone here dealt with a fresh install of 10.04 giving a blank black screen at boot? [19:27] willwork4foo, do you have xorg.conf? do you pass nomodeset to the kernel? [19:27] trism yes in indicator applet [19:28] guzu: can I do that in the grub options? [19:28] trism, but after removing empathy will it point to pidgin? [19:28] can someone help me with a problem I am having with Par2? I have a folder that has something like 60 files and 60 par2 files, is there a way using par2 that I can queue them so they go one by one? or beter yet queue the entire folder? I am doing them one by one now or using pypar with 30 open instances at a time which is killer on the CPU [19:28] willwork4foo, yes, afaict [19:28] * guzu is a fedora user ...

I had to do an Ubuntu Server install (no X) then do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:29] trism, :( [19:29] since I installed ubuntu desktop, it won't boot. It won't even enable networking. [19:30] erSUL: I tried that, but grsync gives an error [19:30] willwork4foo: For future reference you can use the alternate install CD. But if you have graphics problems with the LiveCD you're pretty much guaranteed to have them with the installed system. [19:31] hello [19:31] ubuntu 8.10 rulz [19:31] willwork4foo: what is your hardware? [19:31] Jordan_U, fair enough.

Anyway have you got a support question? [19:33] gah. It almost seems as though starting X on this machine causes it to lock up completely. [19:33] erUSUL : yeah bluray 1080p pron takes a lot of space :P [19:33] piero: you can upgrade using the repos [19:33] sebsebseb, nope [19:33] ok [19:33] any good video converter for ubuntu [19:33] !upgrade | piero [19:33] piero: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [19:33] i do have the 10.4 cd [19:33] abuayyoub, what is the command that you would run on one of the files (i don't know par2) [19:33] willwork4foo, pass text nosplash to the kernel [19:33] malikdhadha: winff; arista ?

[19:45] Slart: k, thanks - I would greatly appreciate any assistance you are able to offer me... [19:45] wicked, thanks thune3 - rebooting now to test [19:45] willwork4foo: It's good that it needed modeset=1 rather than modeset=0 (some cards only work with one, some only with the other) because Kernel Mode Setting will be enabled by default in 10.10 foreward (so, if nothing else fails, upgrades should go fine without needing to "update" the hack) [19:45] queso: very odd, you could try editing the keys directly in gconf-editor, /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec and exec_arg [19:45] Jordan_U, that's good news!

I don't have bluez-compat installed [20:08] yeah, it's weird that it created it, though. =þ [20:08] peleg try sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 [20:08] solar_george, thanks, trying. [20:08] I really do not know where to turn to with this issue now? *groan* [20:08] jungleberrykid: I don't think I have any bluetooth specific packages installed except the default ones [20:09] solar_george, reply from dmesg: [178135.653229] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_af9015 [20:09] abhi_nav: I did some snooping in http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk. I could not find that it tests a thumb drives's functionality. What do you refer to in particular in its description? [20:09] peleg try replugging it maybe [20:10] solar_george, hmm, nothing... [20:10] why is everything so complicated for a normal user in ubuntu? I want to share some of my home folders. I have managed to do that. But I can only create or delete files in the shared folder. I also want to be able to modify files. But I dont know how..... [20:10] bullgard4, dont know [20:10] solar_george, I've read about some guys that did this modprobe magic (with various parameters), and it worked. Maybe we should just know which is the specific parameter for my device..? [20:10] abhi_nav: Right. [20:10] I take it grub-install is broke in 10.4 for software RAID? [20:10] peleg try moving that firmware file from /lib/firmware to /lib/firmware/kernelversion [20:11] bullgard4, hmm [20:11] <_KAMI_> Cold you help me to optimize my boottime? http://ftp.devall.hu/kami/bootchart/AgentM-lucid-20100622-7.png [20:11] peleg are you using usb keyboard or mouse? [20:11] solar_george, no. [20:12] also, where do I disable numlock on boot? did that in the bios and ubuntu re-enables it at some point, quite an annoying feature when using a laptop [20:12] solar_george, how do I know which is my current kernelversion? I have two options there. 2.6.32-21-generic and 2.6.32-22-generic [20:12] peleg should be the latest or run uname -r [20:13] whois Terminator [20:13] solar_george, ok, thanks. indeed the latest. [20:13] hi all, my debian changed my boot and now i cant start my ubuntu, is there any manual to be able to start my ubuntu when i want it? [20:13] _KAMI_, nice boottime [20:14] _KAMI_: i suppose you could lose gdm + gnome etc, but it would only shave a few seconds [20:14] how can i install remote help assistant in the livecd version? [20:14] trifolio6: add ubuntu to debian maintained grub ? [20:14] sounds great, any manual to do that? [20:14] _KAMI_: as well as killing off some daemons [20:14] how/where do i install new gtk themes? [20:14] solar_george, weird, now modprobe is not adding this extra line to dmesg anymore. [20:14] i mean, any time i upgrade my sistem the grup file is regenerated [20:14] trifolio6: ask in #debian ? [20:15] <_KAMI_> Oer, It is a bit lot [20:15] peleg try sudo rmmod dvb-usb-af9015 [20:15] peleg then sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 again [20:15] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: what is your offer? [20:15] <_KAMI_> And which deamons should I stop? [20:15] bergLNX http://compiz-themes.org/ === joachim is now known as Guest34244 [20:16] _KAMI_: do you use bluetooth? === Terminator_ is now known as Terminator [20:16] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: yes I am using with my mobilephone, what is better the original bluetooth manager or blueman? [20:17] _KAMI_: i have no experience with either, do you use sshd? or avahi at all? [20:18] solar_george, ok, I can see the deregistration and the reregistration. after disconnecting+connecting, nothing is new, though. [20:18] <_KAMI_> I am not using Avahi (or does it need for networkmanager nor Wifi, or eth?) [20:19] Hi, can someone please help me with a problem I am having with a program called NZBget? [20:19] solar_george, by the way, af is for afatech -- and 9015 for what? [20:19] peleg ok try sudo rmmod usbhid then replug 9015 is the model number of the chipset [20:20] _KAMI_: no avahi is only used to communicate with other pcs on your network, ie a file server, bonjour(apple's protocol) and similar [20:20] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: DO you have experience with ureadahead? [20:20] * datacrusher congrats for the 16.20 hour [20:20] guys, please tell, where the fonts are located in ubuntu? (not in ~/.fonts) [20:20] !fonts [20:20] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [20:20] freeride: /usr/share/fonts/ ? [20:20] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: Then I can diable it [20:20] solar_george, Module usbhid does not exist in /proc/modules -- did you mean dvb-usb-af9015 ? [20:20] thanks!!! [20:21] erUSUL thanks [20:21] peleg no i was just checking that usbhid wasn't getting in the way [20:21] _KAMI_: you can disable avahi if you'd like, also note down the changes you are making incase something breaks [20:21] _KAMI_: do you run cron scripts? or ssh from other pcs [20:22] <_KAMI_> I have no cron scripts and I used sshd a time ago [20:22] <_KAMI_> so I can disable it [20:22] Hi kami [20:22] sup? [20:22] <_KAMI_> Hi Manekhu! [20:23] Where u frm dude? [20:23] welcome svu [20:23] Manekhu, hello [20:23] _KAMI_: yeah but right now i doubt anything but a few seconds will have gone [20:24] <_KAMI_> I using kernel from kernel ppa [20:25] <_KAMI_> bacause of opensource radeon driver - so I wanted to use ureadahead with this kernel but it is not possible to create pack file for ureadahead [20:25] solar_george, where did you find the model number of the chipset? [20:26] _KAMI_: if ureadahead does nothing you may as well disable it but as i said write/type these changes down [20:26] _KAMI_: the last 5-10 seconds on your bootchart are occuppied by gnome and its extras i suppose you could change to a lighter WM/DE [20:26] peleg by looking up the usb vendor id on http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices [20:27] solar_george, I looked there earlier, but I couldn't find KONKA, and there are a couple of afatechs... [20:28] _KAMI_: also the bootchart onl;y meassures grub to login, how long do you think it takes from login to desktop usable? [20:28] <_KAMI_> okay I disabled few daemons [20:28] how come cp command wont copy the content of the folder im trying to move? [20:28] hey folks - does anyone know of a channel that deals with general linux web server admin? [20:28] bergLNX: cp -r for folders [20:28] or linux server security? [20:28] peleg yeah but I looked at the usb vendor id from your lsusb [20:28] bergLNX: you need to use recursive 'cp -r' [20:28] _KAMI_: here's mine: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3976/ionlucid201006231.png [20:28] imanc: #ubuntu-server ? ##linux ? [20:28] imanc: #httpd [20:28] JHUnT: Grub works fine on my raid1, did you make sure to use mdraid metadata format 0.9? [20:29] imanc: or #apache [20:29] erUSUL: that what i did, the folder copied, but not the content [20:29] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: It is long time I have to wait lots of second to appear panels and desktop === timmillwood is now known as tim_afk [20:29] <_KAMI_> I autstarted skype an pidgint (ang openoffice quickstarter) [20:29] bergLNX: you did not get any error ? [20:29] _KAMI_: then thats where the real problem is going to be [20:29] peleg that should be unique to the chipset unless its a really crappy fake one thats not bothered getting its own id [20:29] erUSUL: nope... [20:29] solar_george, from here: Bus 001 Device 014: ID 15a4:9035 Afatech Technologies, Inc. ? I see 9035 there :) [20:30] bergLNX: then should have copied everything [20:30] bergLNX: how are you checking if everything is there ? [20:30] Jordan_U: hey thanks for reply. I used disk utility to create the raid. I got an error that mdraid wasn't installed and had to apt-get install. I ran again and it created the raid, but grub doesn't recognize it :( [20:30] so I just set up a new 10.4 system with a fairly large monitor. The fullscreen flash performance was actually BETTER with the gpl driver. How does installing the nvidia drivers make flash performance wors.e? [20:30] "sudo cp -r /home/martin/Downloads/Striped/ /usr/share/themes/" is what i did, i then found the "Striped" folder where it should be, but its empty... [20:30] <_KAMI_> miniuser: amazing :D [20:30] solar_george, none really fits the table, actually. it should be 15a4:9035. [20:31] how can I restore grub2 onto the MBR from a live CD? [20:31] !grub2 | An_Ony_Moose [20:31] An_Ony_Moose: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [20:31] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: And how can I tweak that? [20:31] erUSUL: just opening the folder in "explorer" [20:31] peleg yeah but you posting that just made be realise id mis-read again (I think i need coffee) [20:31] JHUnT: Why aren't you installing via the alternate install CD? [20:31] _KAMI_: reduce login items, like i said earlier use lighter DEs/WMs [20:31] bergLNX: and you are sure /home/martin/Downloads/Striped/ is not empty ? [20:32] don't make me install windows media center 2005 again ... please don't make me do that. 99% of the use of this computer will be DVDs and Hulu.com ... even their desktop player is choppy as hell. [20:32] peleg however i just found http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Afatech_AF9035 [20:32] erUSUL: yeah, but after a "ls" i noticed that the content did indeed copy... its just invisible to me... hm... and the theme aint loading either [20:33] Jordan_U: alternate CD? I'm using the 10.4 Live download from the ubuntu site. Is that the CD you're referring to? [20:33] i can go to quarter native on the resolution, which will help some (since it is going to be used as a tv it doesn't need hte 1480xwhatever) [20:33] solar_george, so go ahead and have some coffee! :) I appreciate your help. I'll read that page you've sent me in the meanwhile :) [20:33] JHUnT: No, the LiveCD installer doesn't support installing to RAID. [20:33] !alternate | JHUnT [20:33] JHUnT: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [20:33] _KAMI_: after your done tweaking i reccommend a reboot then join this channel again and show me the new bootchart [20:34] Jordan_U: doh!!! Cool, I'll give that a shot :) [20:34] peleg too late in the evening here for coffee and beer doesn't improve reading ability [20:34] Jordan_U: thanks! [20:34] JHUnT: You're welcome :) [20:35] solar_george: sounds like a catch 22, perhaps water? [20:35] solar_george, indeed :) [20:35] so, flash is the achillies heel of linux then huh? [20:36] _KAMI_: yes, yes, thank you. i use SSD value model 40 GB. thats what makes the difference === haxor is now known as virtualgeekhub [20:36] GeekSquid: maybe hot chocolate [20:36] is there a way to recursively chmod a folder and all sub folders/files? [20:36] _KAMI_: from intel [20:36] anUbuntuUser: no, flash is the achillies heel of the internet, HTML5 is the solution we are waiting for [20:36] bergLNX, chmod -R someone:somegroup /somefolder [20:36] anyone here have a wusb100v2 card? (i've already looked into the wiki and help files for ubuntu's supported cards) [20:37] anUbuntuUser: Yes, you can work around the main use of flash by using totem (the movie player that comes with Ubuntu) or html5 to browse youtube though. [20:37] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: should I use XFCE or lighter? [20:37] what causes failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-sftp" ? [20:37] what I mean by that is that to do things just like we did on windows we need flash to work full screen. So I can't switch our livingroom pc over to linux until we can play full screen video in flash [20:38] <_KAMI_> miniuser: Yeah cool, but my laptop is in duty [20:38] <_KAMI_> It has a big hdd in it. [20:38] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: I will reboot soon however I have an ongoing copy I would like to finish it [20:38] youtube plays fine, hulu is what is going to prevent this project from going forward for another year or two [20:39] _KAMI_: depends how low you want to go, like absolute max speed - no effects+eyecandy etc basic but clean or just lighter than gnome whilst retaining eye-candy [20:39] this was supposed to be the intermediate step that would prove to my wife that linux will work fine for her computer too [20:39] i have a built in wifi card on my laptop AND a usb wifi card plugged in. is there a way in ubuntu to see which device is connecting to the net ? [20:39] <_KAMI_> until that I am building OxygenOffice on the another computer [20:39] Guys, I installed fglrx and had troubles with splash screen, so I decided to revert them back and remove them + i upgraded kernel from software updates [20:39] _KAMI_: lightest you could get is probably openbox with going into tiling, but xfce is a good choice [20:39] and now it's working very very slow [20:40] ddrj: see the routing table ? [20:40] my ubuntu, lucid install that is [20:40] anUbuntuUser: Yeah i tried converting my gf too she had none of ubuntu lol [20:40] _KAMI_: i'd go with xfce see if you like it [20:40] erUSUL: how do you do that? [20:40] anUbuntuUser: I have no trouble with Hulu on my lappy, and it is 4 years old, sometimes the latest and greatest isn't what works the best [20:40] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: I prefer basic and eye candy, however I am using compiz and it seems more responsible in many cases [20:40] ddrj: « ip route » ? [20:40] anUbuntuUser: You'll be happy to know that while Boxee used to be able to browse Hulu natively, Hulu sued them to remove the feature (even though commercials were still shown, so it was only gaining them revenue) [20:40] I can't even play a dvd on my laptop ... it's an intel graphics chip with no proprietary driver or anything, about 1 frame per minute with the gpl driver [20:41] i know about boxee [20:41] the desktop wasn't even loading, so i decided to supress KMS and now it's barely usable [20:41] Anyone know of a mail client thing that can connect to an imap account and do some basic filtering according to some rules.. no gui.. just a daemon.. I don't want to rely on thunderbird to do that [20:41] linuxmce kindof embeds hulu too, just uses their binary and then wrote some scripts to interface with it [20:41] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: any other possibilities to increase bootspeed? [20:41] Slart: Horde will do that [20:41] erUSUL: they're showing me two wlan's, one is wlan1 and another is wlan0, it says default is via wlan0 [20:42] how do i found out which wlan is assigned to which device ? [20:42] anUbuntuUser: I think that linux just isn't a good choice for your media center yet, but you might ask in #mythtv to see if they know of any Hulu alternatives that work well. [20:42] GeekSquid: isn't Horde a webclient thing? or it has some kind of backend? [20:42] ddrj: there you go internet is via wlan0 [20:42] _KAMI_: backgrounding daemons, but i'm not sure how to do that in ubuntu [20:42] there is no alternative to hulu that I know of ... it is content not capability that hulu has [20:42] and unfortunately content is going to determine the OS we use :( [20:42] erUSUL: right but wlan0 is connected via the built in wifi card or the usb wifi card? how do i know? [20:42] Slart: it is a webclient, and it has a backend, which will allow filtering/whitelisting/blacklisting [20:43] ddrj: lshw -C Network | less [20:43] GeekSquid: ah.. I will take a look at Horde then.. thanks for the tip [20:43] what causes failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-sftp" ? [20:43] any idea why a windows KVM guest is performing like crap on an SSD drive? [20:43] Slart: I will tell you it is a B!TC# to setup, you have to install some perl and pecl stuff [20:44] malikeye|123: whats the cpu + ram like? [20:44] aeon-ltd, zero [20:44] GeekSquid: sounds like a weekend project then =) [20:44] like no CPU usage, no I/O [20:44] it just runs dog slow [20:44] it's got 2 vCPU's and 1GB of RAM [20:44] malikeye|123: Do other VMs on other drives run well? [20:44] it's XP, should be running fast [20:44] can someone guide or point me to some nice article regarding how to connect modem huawei e1762 via wvdial or usb_modeswitch.. please.. been searching thru google and tried many tutorial bt still got no succeed.. :( [20:44] Slart: Prolly, took me an afternoon the first time [20:44] erUSUL: ah crap, it's using my builtin wifi card (wlan0.. which is faulty), is there a way to assign wlan1 preference over wlan0 ? [20:44] nope, single VM [20:45] it's on a laptop... a W510 [20:45] Hi. Should password authentication over SSH work by default on Ubuntu 10.4 server edition? [20:45] the laptop is sitting like 80% idle [20:45] malikeye|123: Does "kvm-ok" report that hardware virtualization is available? [20:45] it's an i7 chip [20:45] chrijon: yes [20:45] well, I have to head out. thanks for the info guys [20:45] ddrj: why not use the laptop facilities to just disable the card ( added bonus it want draw power). many laptops have a key combo or switch to disable wifi === infotek is now known as novice [20:45] Jordan_U, it says "KVM acceleration can be used" === novice is now known as NetwerK [20:46] hm [20:46] so I'm guessing it's not then [20:46] :/ [20:46] erUSUL: well, i want to disable the built in wireless card in the laptop and only use the usb wifi card, is that possible to do with ubuntu? [20:46] I just used the KVM doc on the ubuntu site... I usually use fedora, but this laptop like ubuntu better, so [20:46] ddrj: as i said doing that depends on hardware on most laptops [20:46] malikeye|123: No, that means that it is avialable. [20:46] Just a basic question... I have the /var/www/nginx-default/ folder, which comes with owner and group as www-data, the owner can read and write, and the group just read. My question is: MY username, is there a way to let it edit files in that folder? Should I set it as the owner, or as the group with read and write privileges? I don't want other stuff going nuts (like WordPress or Joomla not saving if a setting changes). [20:46] Jordan_U, but does it mean it's not enabled? [20:46] ddrj: they usually have a button to turn off/on the wifi [20:47] GeekSquid: just found something called imapfilter.. seems to be a little more lightweight than horde [20:47] erUSUL: hm... yes, weird part is... when i turn off the wifi button on the laptop, the usb card doesn't work x( [20:47] malikeye|123: No, everything is configured properly. [20:47] k [20:47] ddrj: maybe it acts on both... [20:47] Slart: hmm, sounds promising [20:47] ddrj: try with the rfkill command === christo is now known as Guest76902 [20:47] erUSUL: hmm... yeah... i got an idea tho.. what about disabling it via bios? if that doesn't work, i'll try rfkill [20:47] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: I removen slmodem too [20:47] ddrj: or blacklist the internal wifi driver [20:47] ddrj > physically remove the internal card. many laptops have panels that pop off the bottom of the machine to allow easy access to the card [20:48] hey fellas, if i deleted my linux partition and am seeing grub-service>, am i fairly hosed if i want to set windows as the boot ? [20:48] malikeye|123: Is the IO performance of the ssd (just using it outside the VM) pretty good? [20:48] !blacklist [20:48] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [20:48] Jordan_U, yes, very [20:48] thanks, checking [20:48] ddrj: kesroesweyth suggestion is sound too [20:48] the machine is idle, the disk is pretty much idle, no I/O wait... [20:48] kyngdom: You're going to need a LiveCD / USB to recover. [20:49] search usb_modeswitch [20:49] actually now there is some I/O wait goin on [20:49] ddrj: possibly under the keyboard, or behind the screen, depends on the laptop, I can remove my WIfi Card without turning it off, just lift the keyboard and snap [20:49] of ubuntu im assuming [20:49] ? [20:49] ddrj > note that the interal card is not hot swappable. power the machine off and remove the battery prior to removing the card [20:49] internal* [20:49] !search usb_modeswitch [20:49] Found: [20:49] yeah, 10+ I/O wait now [20:49] hmmm [20:50] during an install of some AV [20:50] ok let me check [20:50] !usb_modeswitch [20:50] kyngdom: Any liveCD will do, or Super GRUB Disk. [20:50] ddrj: kesroesweyth is right, I'd not reccommend removing anything without powering down [20:50] Hi! After nvidia install the Plymouth is just ugly. Tried all the stuff on the forums, and now i'm using in "quiet" without splash. Anyone has ideas for Nvidia 140nvs? [20:50] thank you for the help Jordan_U [20:50] I'm running Hardy Heron, and wish to make a Live USB of Lucid for installation on a PC without a working CD-ROM drive. I have already downloaded the applicable ISO file for a live CD, and have it in my home folder. I tried following the directions for creation of a Live USB from the Ubuntu website, but I do not have a "Startup Disk Creator" within "System > Administration". How do I proceed? [20:50] ddrj > what model is the laptop? === ubuntu_ is now known as hoe [20:50] Ahren_The_Magus, try unetbootin [20:50] kesroesweyth: it's an older lenovo t61 [20:51] hotfloppy: there is really no easy way to do what you want, usb_modeswitch needs to be run before modprobing the card prior to running wvidal [20:51] i have to find the actual model # tho [20:51] malikeye|123: Where do I download or access "unetbootin"? [20:51] kyngdom: are you hoping to recover the windows boot loader and wipe ubuntu? [20:51] i just installed windows 7 into a fresh partition, and am trying to resetup grub to allow me to dual boot windows and ubuntu, but something's wrong and i can't get grub to recognize the original installation [20:51] but what about turning off the built in wifi card in bios? wouldn't that work? [20:51] kyngdom: You're welcome. Do you want me to tell you how to do it now or should I wait untill you're connected to IRC from the LiveCD? [20:51] sudo aptitude install unetbootin ? [20:51] Ahren, install udb-creator package vis synaptic [20:51] malikeye|123: Thank you. I'm still getting used to using the terminal. [20:51] ddrj > i want to say those were under the keyboard. the bios idea may work if you have that option in the bios at all [20:51] sorry... usb-creator [20:51] _KAMI_: wait did you need that for bluetooth? [20:51] hoe: what does your menu.lst look like? [20:51] ddrj > only way to know is to try! =) [20:52] virtualgeekhub: apparently there isn't one [20:52] Ahren, type: sudo apt-get install usb-creator in terminal [20:52] GeekSquid: doesnt matter either its easy or not.. but could you please lead me to some nice article regarding both of it ? or nice working keyword ? [20:52] kesroesweyth: i am in bios right now, there's an option that says "wirless LAN Radio Frequency" , it's on on right now, turn it to off would disable the wireless card ? [20:52] malikeye|123: Error> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "unetbootin" [20:52] virtualgeekhub: that was my intention. i had deleted the partition in windows, completely forgetting to deal with grub first. Jordan_U: I am downloading and burning a livecd now. I will do my best to read and fix, but I may need to ask a question later. [20:52] virtualgeekhub: sorry trying to reget grub cause it's not on this live cd [20:52] hoe: he is probably using grub2 [20:52] jumar: Trying your command instead. [20:52] hoe: have you tried booting from live cd and reinstalling grub that way?

[21:00] game [21:00] Does anyone know the fix to the CUPS not connecting to localhost? i tried rebooting cups, and it worked previously, but not anymore [21:00] kyngdom: With that hardware you should be able to run a windows environment just fine ;) [21:00] notracking: try this: http://www.nyse.com/ [21:01] bullgard4, chances are, disk mounter also ejects the device after dismounting it.. use the 'umount' command instead - it doesn't do an eject. [21:01] kyngdom: Virtualized of course... [21:01] tnx [21:01] ubutom: it's kinda weird... if i enable the builtin wifi card and plugin the usb wifi card, i get internet. so then i remove the usb wifi card and network manager says i'm disconnected but then it falls back on the built in laptop wifi card and finds a network to connect to [21:01] Anyone from Hong Kong here? [21:01] ur welcome : P [21:01] ubutom: kinda weird right? i just want it to use the usb wifi card and not the built in one [21:01] D4NG3R: Like someone said before, xchat is in the Ubuntu repositories, there is no reason to use alien to try to convert a Fedora rpm into deb to install it. [21:02] Ubuntu 10.04 + Firefox + certain images or videos = total mess-up of my screen. To fix it, I have to log out and login again (i.e. restart X windows). [21:02] kyngdom: This is one of my main motivators for virtualizing most things, it can make things much easier (in some cases!). [21:02] is daemontools available as a ubuntu package under 9.10?

[21:03] I need to delete a folder with some million files in it. rm -r asks me stupid questions like: do you want to descent into xxxx; do you want to delete regular file yyy. How can I make this quicker? [21:03] does ubuntu use alt special characters? [21:03] TLoFP: use the -f argument as well. [21:03] alt + 130 = é ? [21:04] Pici: thanks === Andorin is now known as AK|out [21:04] im trying to figure out where that all came from [21:04] woahhhhh, everyone who helped me, i am so sorry to have wasted ur time, i just realized whta happened [21:05] virtualgeekhub: so if i am completely virgin to linux (which i am for all intents and purposes, besides a few installations and abandonments), should i go windows with an ubuntu vm or ubuntu with a windows vm? [21:05] kyngdom, both works, you can even swap the vms between the oses, have dualboot and created another ubuntu and windows installation in a vm just to mess around and then I used the same two with windows and linux just to mess around too ;D [21:05] I think ubuntu is throttling my CPU when this laptop is plugged in [21:05] ok [21:05] I have just installed Ubuntu server. It of course has a command line interface. The documentation seems to imply that I can install Gnome and use it for many tasks. Is it sufficient to apt-get gnome? Or do I need to install other stuff too? [21:06] kyngdom: This is of course preference, I personally run Windows in a vm on an Ubuntu host, however I started the other way around. [21:06] malikeye|123: that happens by default [21:06] ok [21:06] well i certainly appreciate the input from you all [21:06] ubuntu was using BOTH the wifi cards to connect to the net, so i went into network manager, and disconnected the network that the built in wifi card was using and only left it connected on the usb wifi card [21:06] thank you for being so helpful: ) [21:06] malikeye|123, you can add cpu frequency applet to the taskbar and set the behaviour [21:07] superannuatedgee: why didn't you just install desktop version to start with? [21:07] kyngdom: Why don't you run an ubuntu vm from a Windows host first just to get the feel for Ubuntu? Then when your brave you can flip that scenario. [21:07] yeah, it's throttling these 1.60GHz down to 900MHz :( [21:08] i suppose the best thing to do in that case would be to just force myself to work from within that vm [21:08] is daemontools available as a ubuntu package under 9.10? [21:08] malikeye|123, HAve a dualcore here and added two applets, chose on one cpu0 on the other cpu1 and can also set the mode with a click on it [21:08] jim: should be [21:08] ubutom, which app is that? [21:08] jim, check out packages.ubuntu.com [21:08] the XFCE one doesn't control it [21:09] jim: why would you need them? [21:09] Mostly I was assuming that there is a reason why there exsists a server version. Also, I need the server functionality. I don't need to be able to manage my photo collection. [21:09] !iso | jim [21:09] jim: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [21:09] kyngdom: If your going to be going that route whats our next move? [21:09] malikeye|123, right click the upper taskbar and choose add to panel [21:09] well at this point im burning a livecd to repair grub === AK|out is now known as Andorin [21:10] superannuatedgee: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install everyting you need for a desktop install with gnome [21:10] why? mainly because openacs and daemontools seem to get along well [21:10] once that's done, i will create a new vm and install 10.04 === cory is now known as Guest26576 [21:10] malikeye|123, then go down until you see something like monitor cpu-frequency, have another locale than english here, so it can be named otherwise :) [21:10] ubutom, I'm using XFCE and that XFCE one doesn't actually control it... are you using gnome? [21:10] yes you can install gnome-desktop to the server edition, but your defeating the purpose of the server with teh overhead of the desktop software. [21:10] Hi people. Does anyone having any trouble with Nautilus after the last update? (10.04) [21:10] why is nautilus able to follow symlinks on smbfs and the bash not? [21:10] malikeye|123, yeah, I use gnome [21:10] so what is the gnome-app called :) [21:10] kyngdom: That's cool, don't worry we were ALL new to Ubuntu once too, now it's second nature ;) [21:11] i have often considered switching my server 08 machine to ubuntu server as well, to assuage my piracy concerns [21:11] but i figured that was a bit too heavyhanded for a first proecjt [21:11] project* [21:11] malikeye|123, hhhm, good question :) [21:11] jim: handling an iso is much simpler here - see the hint from ubottu above [21:11] ubutom, right click it and hit "About" [21:11] unop: Now: '~$ sudo mkfs -c /dev/sdb1; Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done; Writing inode tables: done; Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done; This filesystem will be automatically checked every 38 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.' -- Is this a effective test for a thumb drive? Or do you recommend another one? [21:12] superannuatedgee: why not install gnome-desktop and install only the services you need from there? unless you install all the server services. [21:12] malikeye|123, as I said, using another language than english :( [21:12] kyngdom: Yeah maybe that can be your crowning achievement once you get the hand of Ubuntu. [21:12] k [21:12] kyngdom: *hang [21:12] bullgard4, i would say this is enough - it doesn't seem to have found anything wrong with the filesystem. [21:13] unop: Thank you very much for your excellent help. [21:13] malikeye|123, think cpufreq-applet, thats at least what appears as task [21:13] k [21:14] kyngdom: Funny though, I just switched from Server 08, I migrated my web site to Ubuntu (Apache), for the same concerns you have, Piracy... [21:14] kraut, what does the symlink point to?? [21:14] I certainly could have started with Desktop, but I really would be happier if I could simply fire up the desktop when I wished to interact with stuff and then quit it when I was finished. I gather this is an idea born of naivite [21:14] kraut, readlink -f your_link [21:14] unop: to /home/temp [21:14] not seeing that package... but looking at the forums [21:14] virtualgeekhub: im trying to be as legit as possible and the only real sore thumb sticking out in my entire lan seems to be my server [21:14] kraut, ok, so what makes you think bash is unable to deal with it? [21:15] superannuatedgee: learn to interact with command line, not much you cannot do [21:15] and im not going to pay 1200 bucks just to have active directory [21:15] hi. My nautilus is starting with 170 mb memory (in a new session). It used to start with 70mb. Is that ordinary? [21:15] hell i won't even get a technet subscription just for that [21:15] malikeye|123, yeah, confirmed, I killed it to try and the applets disappeared :) [21:15] well, obviously there are a few other good things about a server, but the point is still that i won't buy it [21:15] unop: /home/temp is not within the cifs share [21:16] like i said, you can install gnome desktop on the server edition, but you may not get the performance you exspect because the cup's will be watching for service calls for the desktop while watching for calls for the server. [21:16] superannuatedgee: cpu's [21:17] lag [21:17] kraut, where on the filesystem does this link exist? or does it not exist at all and this is a samba user home directory share? [21:17] Yeah Active Directory is a bit pricey, then you need CAL's, all kinds of money spent. [21:18] lol I keep hitting Shift + Page Up, to scroll the chat windows up, habits die hard... [21:18] hi. My nautilus is starting with 170 mb memory (in a new session). It used to start with 70mb. Is that ordinary? [21:19] ubutom, can you do this? dpkg --search cpufreq-applet [21:19] Dittersdorf, mine sleeps and has 23MB right now [21:19] malikeye|123, did it already, didn'T come up with a result [21:20] hmm [21:20] fully qualify the path? [21:20] ubuntom - it started after I updated the system this morning. where should I report it? [21:20] does anyone around here know which of full encryption of a /home partition using luks or home directory encryption with ecryptfs has the best performance / is most robust? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [21:20] oh, ok malikeye|123 , I just used aptitude search, actually it returns many stuff ;) [21:21] malikeye|123, gonna pastebin it [21:21] thanks [21:21] I didn't see anything in aptitude [21:22] Is there a way to arrange that Empathy only displays people's message, not their comings and goings? === omgjoz|SKOREA is now known as omgjoz|UNCLESAM [21:23] Guys i need help [21:23] malikeye|123, http://pastebin.com/ZRYUdTd4 [21:23] My splash screen resolution is off, how do i fix that? [21:23] I'm about to have a package built in LP - I made some changes that could potentially break things. So I'm wondering- how can I roll back the update if it does break things? [21:24] Dittersdorf, have you rebooted since the update? [21:24] yes [21:24] wait nvm [21:24] how would I go about switching my laptop's function and menu keys? [21:24] looks like gnome-applets it is [21:24] MTecknology: sudo apt-get install package=other_version [21:24] ubutum - ofcourse [21:24] tsimpson: thanks [21:24] Anyone know how to fix the splash screen resolution?

[21:49] hiexpo, ;\ [21:50] DeadmanIncJS, that's prob why u asked :-P [21:50] DrGrov: you mean the RGB or whatever it was called thing yeah? [21:50] grusum, what do u mean set the channel ? [21:50] hiexpo, can I talk to you in PM sir. [21:50] sure [21:50] sebsebseb: yes, something like that. i want real god damn transparency without any pseudo transparency. my specs can handle it.

[21:51] DrGrov: and with the default theme, the terminal has a transparant effect as well [21:51] Oh, lol solved my problem. Turning off the visual effects made it fake transparent. [21:51] sebsebseb: i set the transparency on the terminal already. [21:51] DrGrov: if you make the panels big, with transparant effect, that can be fun, since then you can see through to the background [21:51] zagabar: how did you get "real" transparency? [21:52] DrGrov: I had visual effects set to medium. [21:52] DrGrov: and you can put one on the left and right even just for this, but auto hide, or they take up way to much space [21:52] I saw all windows behind it and all. Very annoying and bloated.

[23:38] So was thinking of writing a driver [23:38] simps, you can change the c:\boot.ini from windows [23:39] Hi, I'm running FileZilla and want it to shut my computer down when finish. It allows me to run a script when transfer is done, so I can make a file and make that shut my computer down. I know that I must use "sudo shutdown -h now" but if it's running from my app how can I make it type my password? I mean if I save the file how do I know if it has acess to do that? [23:39] bazhang, Seaphor: It's a laptop, and swap is used for suspend-to-disk. [23:39] magellan, press the Print Screen key on your keyboard & post the screen shot to a site like imageshack or something similar...give us the link and we'll try to take a look at your screen because it doesnt' sound like you have a regular GNOME DE installed [23:39] Can you suggest me any tools for dumping upper PCi configuration space under Windows 7 - 64 bit [23:39] bazhang, Seaphor: Though tht's something I hadn't considered... maybe I coudl squeeze a gig out fo it. [23:39] fr3ak, try in ##windows [23:39] what in windows? [23:40] bazhang, what in windows? [23:40] bazhang, Seaphor: How tricky/dangerous is it to shift the space from swap to /? [23:40] fr3ak, ask windows support questions in the channel -----> ##windows === flak is now known as Guest85820 [23:40] magellan, I am installing netbook...however I am using karmic I dont use lucid at all..and wont at all [23:40] puff: i use a 2gb swap and have no issue with S3/S4 (sleep/hibernation) [23:40] Eighteens, this is what C:\boot.ini shows: http://pastebin.com/mRd9EzHe [23:40] ##windows [23:40] but let me boot into netbook [23:40] Need a good tutorial for auto mounting a network hard drive, any suggestions? [23:41] !automount | klandwehr [23:41] klandwehr: Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [23:41] Seaphor: I have 2GB of memory, so I made it 4GB of swap. [23:41] Seaphor: But, you've sold me on it, now how hard/tricky is it? [23:41] Slidinghorn: here alink of my desktop http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6655/mynetbookscreenshot.png [23:41] thanks [23:42] Pax-Man, you'd configure your sudoers file to do without a password for shutdown, ''sudo visudo'' and include something like this at the end of the file. %sudo ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown === thibow is now known as thb|Ou7 [23:42] puff: use gparted off of a live cd,,, not hard [23:42] for kernel option additions, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto seems to refer to a previous revision of ubuntu. given that grub configs are all spaghetti code these days, would someone be so kind as to point out where I can add kernel parameters for all kernels in 10.04? [23:42] Seaphor: Hm, hokay, I'll try that tongiht (after I take a backup, just to be sure...). [23:42] unop: thanks ill try that [23:42] bazhang, BluesKaj, Seaphor: Thanks. [23:42] hello guys [23:43] Hi all. I am dual booting Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows. And I want to change the default boot menu. How might I do that? I'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/switching/dualboot-custom.html but I do not have a menu.lst file [23:43] puff: if you need me i'll be in ##c4 [23:43] how can i change the langague in the gimp [23:43] Slidinghorn: did you saw it. theres no multiple workspace available [23:43] well i do change it via the console but i wanna change permantly not only fo an instance [23:43] simps, i looked at it, this is what mine looks like http://pastebin.com/Ax9PeAci [23:43] it defaults to windows in 10s if i do nothing [23:43] test [23:43] Question: What software do you guys use for labeling and putting some arrorws in the screenshot on Ubuntu? [23:43] slidinghorn: whats your judgement [23:44] magellan, ok..you're using the netbook version which has the multiple workspaces "disabled" (set to just 1) -- here's how to change that (inside the thread is a link telling how to do it from command line): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1345974 [23:44] Seaphor: Cool, thanks. [23:44] how can i change the language in my gimp please [23:44] slidinghorn: tnx will try ill be back if i finish [23:44] progesterone, you can edit the screen shot with GIMP or another image editor [23:44] magellan, no prob :) [23:45] * Cuberoot is guessing /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d somewhere [23:46] SlidingHorn Is there any other software which is not as complicated as GIMP? [23:47] ah, there we go. I think it's GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub === gola is now known as galant [23:47] Hello can someone tell me how i mount my sata dvd burner? [23:47] hey guys im trying to dual boot xubuntu and xp for a friend of mine and im in Gparted but the whole disk is flagged as boot and so im trying to part it in half to install xubuntu...' [23:48] hello, my SWAP has been disabled!, At system startup it says: "waiting swap UID=xxxx", fdisk -l seens to be ok. need help turning it on. please. [23:48] How can I send keystrokes to a specified/active X window? [23:48] progesterone, not that I'm aware of... [23:48] subone, a combination of wmctrl and xmacro [23:48] SlidingHorn Thanks mate. [23:49] rafaelsoaresbr: is the UUID of swap the same in /etc/fstab as told but 'sudo blkid' ? [23:49] s/but/by [23:50] Unop ty ill look into xmacro... already using wmctrl [23:50] bastid_raZor, does I need to restart to check that? [23:50] progesterone, use the rectangular select tool to select the area, then fill it (Edit>Fill) with an obvious color and change the opacity of the layer... [23:51] rafaelsoaresbr: no, cat /etc/fstab | grep -i swap then the next command sudo blkid | grep -i swap [23:51] I want to mount a cd, on my second drive, with exec permissions, how can I do that? [23:52] progesterone, that's the easiest way I can think to "highlight" a problem to show someone :) [23:52] I tryed sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it didn't work [23:52] will kde run smoothly on an amd 1.86 ghz processor and 3gb ram? [23:52] bastid_raZor, thanks, the answer is: no, UID has been changed!, maybe Mandriva has changed it. [23:53] My sound sunddenly quit working, any idea what I can do to troubleshoot it? pulseaudio settings look fine [23:53] rebooted a bunch, nothing helps [23:53] rafaelsoaresbr: make the changes in /etc/fstab and you're all set.. after making the changes do: sudo mount -a .. swap should be mounted.. you can check by free -m [23:53] synapse, does alsa work fine? [23:54] alsa? [23:54] like alsa reload? [23:54] synapse, open the terminal and type in alsamixer [23:54] I installed samba but it doesn't start as a service on boot.. I have to manually start it.. How do I get it to start as a service? [23:54] oh, the mixer [23:55] synapse, make sure that all the chanels are on [23:55] I want to mount a cd, on my second drive, with exec permissions, how can I do that?

[23:56] synapse, odd... did you check the jack connection to your speakers? maybe something moved there [23:56] rafaelsoaresbr: no, just sudo mount -a after that command type free -m .. that should show your swap [23:56] yeah, I did all of that already [23:56] its weird as hell [23:56] Gryllida: how about hit the Q ? [23:57] hotfloppy: yay it worked [23:57] need help [23:57] i can't copy iso image [23:57] bastid_raZor, still nothing.

[23:58] pulseaudio shows all the right settings and stuff [23:58] sec-r1z, you want to copy an iso to a cd? [23:58] it doesn't work in nexuiz or rhtymbox, its almost like something is hanging onto the driver [23:58] So is there no way to use the Ubuntu LiveCD to do an AV scan on a Windows partition? [23:58] HaPK: yes [23:58] synapse, make sure alsamixer has no muted ctrls [23:59] WHAT THE HELL [23:59] sec-r1z, brasero easily helps you with that, have you tried it? [23:59] HaPK: and ubuntu doesn't recognize my blank dvd [23:59] ok, I installed a pulseaudio update a while ago and it actually muted everything [23:59] I blame ubuntu for that [23:59] what programs do you guys use for controlling fans? [23:59] had to go into pulseaudio and unmute EVERYTHING
